What We Think

If you’re tired of Hollywood’s usual woke checklist, "Between the World and Us" should come as a relief. The show prioritizes character-driven storytelling over ideological box-checking, largely preserving narrative integrity and cultural resonance. Hardly woke at all.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Between the World and Us" (2022) mostly avoids sacrificing narrative for ideology. Characters are developed through personal dilemmas and personality rather than identity-focused traits. Casting choices feel motivated more by fit and chemistry than solely by surface diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like romance, loyalty, and personal growth remain central. There's little sign of active undermining of family, faith, or masculinity. The story focuses on relatable, universal dilemmas instead of pushing modern ideological spin on cultural traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives on relationships and life decisions are explored with some nuance. No single worldview dominates; characters struggle with conflicting motives and doubts. Ideological uniformity is minimal, and dissenting perspectives don't become cartoonish.
