Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Counting Cars is about restoring and customizing classic vehicles. The show’s focus is on the craftsmanship, stories behind the cars, and the personalities in the shop. There’s virtually no forced representation or heavy-handed identity-based casting, people are there for their actual expertise.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show celebrates American car culture, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship. Masculinity, hard work, and traditional values are presented unapologetically and positively. There are no evident attempts to undermine family, religion, or cultural traditions, if anything, those foundations are highlighted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t deal much with ideology. The rare perspectives shown tend to celebrate classic Americana rather than mock alternatives. There’s no glaring political messaging, and any differences among cast members are handled good-naturedly.
