What We Think

Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life is mostly interested in absurd comedy rather than advancing any woke agenda. While it’s certainly modern, it avoids the heavy-handedness seen in much of today’s TV, landing it very low on the woke spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show focuses primarily on comedic misadventures and relatable post-college struggles, with limited emphasis on overt identity politics or shoehorned representation. Characters are driven more by quirks and traditional sitcom antics than ideology, making for a refreshingly light touch on the woke scale.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional elements like friendship, relationships, and flawed decision-making are central. Masculinity, family, and morality are played for laughs but not outright undermined or subverted to push an agenda. Nothing here screams cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There's a breadth of personalities, including both responsible and irresponsible types. The series isn't used as a platform to villainize traditional views or push a unified ideological narrative, instead sticking to classic sitcom tropes.
