What We Think

All in all, "Beverly Hills, 90210" is a relic from a less-woke era, focusing on soap opera drama and personal issues rather than ideological agendas. Its woke factor is about as low as you'd expect from early-'90s network TV.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Beverly Hills, 90210" mostly focused on storytelling, teenage drama, and relatable character growth. Identity factors like race or sexuality were rarely at the forefront, and casting fit mainstream standards of the time. Forced representation and flawless diverse characters were basically absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show generally upheld traditional family values and covered issues like relationships, school, and peer pressure in a fairly conventional way for its era. Masculinity, religion, and family were treated as normal aspects of life, not subverted or mocked. Cultural revisionism was minimal.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews appeared infrequently, but traditional perspectives weren't overtly villainized either. There was a moderate range of perspectives, although the show kept to a mainstream, early-'90s moral consensus. It wasn’t a bastion of ideological diversity, but certainly far from today's monoculture trend.
