In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Cristela is certainly ‘woke-leaning’ for its time, given its focus on representation and progressive jokes, but it doesn’t go full force into ideological messaging. If you’re counting on anything approaching a non-woke sitcom, keep looking , but it’s not as aggressive as today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Cristela does blend comedy with contemporary social themes, and there’s a noticeable emphasis on identity and representation. Still, the lead character has authentic struggles and comedic flaws, which tempers the preachiness. Identity factors occasionally overshadow character depth, but it's not as heavy-handed as more recent fare.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at traditional values but doesn't go out of its way to trash them. Family and cultural heritage remain at the forefront, even if it often questions or subverts certain aspects. Masculinity and tradition are occasionally lampooned, but with a sitcom’s light touch.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Most of the cast and humor align with mainstream progressive perspectives. Traditional viewpoints are usually presented as the butt of jokes, without much sincere engagement, though outright villainization is mostly avoided.
