What We Think

'Birds of a Feather' is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. Its focus remains on genuine character-driven storytelling, traditional themes, and pluralism, without shoehorning in ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Birds of a Feather' focuses primarily on character dynamics and situational comedy rather than modern identity politics. The stories revolve around personality and personal growth, with character backgrounds reflecting their social context instead of being dominated by current ideological trends. Forced representation or overemphasis on identity is basically absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structure and themes of friendship are central. While the show follows two women navigating life after their husbands are jailed, it does not undermine family values or traditional roles; rather, it explores them with humor and relatability. Gender roles are questioned but not mocked in a modern 'woke' fashion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Debate, disagreement, and differing worldviews form part of the comedy, with characters having distinct voices and backgrounds. Traditional views and alternative perspectives are not caricatured or villainized; there’s genuine interaction and conflict, providing a pluralistic landscape.
