'Billionaire Boys Club' (1987) is about as non-woke as network TV gets. It’s a straightforward period piece, with no glaring ideological agenda or forced representation, just good old-fashioned greed, crime, and consequence.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on character-driven storytelling, with identity factors like race and gender largely fitting the historical context. There’s no apparent forced representation or characters defined solely by modern identity politics. Narrative seems prioritized over ideological points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like ambition, morality, and family are explored in a mostly 1980s framework. There’s little evidence of subverted gender roles or revisionism in religious or cultural traditions; the series stays in line with standard storytelling for its time.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show doesn’t go out of its way to depict a broad spectrum of worldviews, alternative perspectives are not overtly mocked or villainized. It leans into the dramatic rise-and-fall formula without pushing a modern ideological message.
