Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Cedar Cove focuses on small-town life, personal relationships, and traditional drama without noticeable shoehorning of identity politics. Characters are written with attention to their humanity rather than as walking social checklists. Overall, the narrative remains intact and personal arcs drive the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show upholds themes of family, morality, and community, treating religion and traditional values with respect. There's little to no subversion of established gender roles or cultural traditions. If anything, Cedar Cove leans into the wholesome aspects of older American television.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized. While the worldview is fairly idealized and positive, it doesn’t aggressively push modern ideological talking points, nor does it present caricatures of tradition. Diversity of opinion exists mostly around personal relationships, not politics.
