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

Devotion, a Story of Love and Desire, avoids the usual 'woke' pitfalls. Instead, it focuses on universal human failings in marriage. It does not force ideological representation or undermine tradition for the sake of modern messaging. A refreshingly non-woke drama.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on extramarital temptation and marital struggles without forcibly shoehorning identity politics or making character traits solely about gender or orientation. The characters are developed based on personal flaws and genuine relationship conflict, not modern ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the series explores themes like infidelity and shifting family dynamics, it generally treats marriage and traditional values as complex, not outdated or villainous. There's mature, sometimes critical exploration, but it doesn't aggressively attack cultural staples or traditional masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show presents infidelity and personal ambiguity, but it doesn't drown out alternative perspectives or make dissenters cartoonish. There’s room for debate over morality and choices, keeping the show away from rigid ideological echo chambers.
