What We Think

"Eastwick" flirted with the early waves of modern empowerment agendas but never dove fully into what would now be called ‘woke.’ It mostly remains a supernatural dramedy with a hint of 2000s-style progressive flair.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Eastwick" features three female leads and gives them supernatural powers, the show still generally emphasizes personal struggles and relationships over overt identity politics. Casting choices seem more traditional for its time, with character development tied to the plot rather than ideological checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series does play with themes of female empowerment and presents the supernatural as a vehicle for challenging traditional domestic dynamics. However, it doesn’t aggressively dismantle the ideas of family or masculinity, though some might interpret the sidelining of male characters as subtly undermining traditional roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the show leans toward empowering modern female characters, it stops short of fully mocking or villainizing alternative perspectives. There’s some ideological tilt, but pluralism survives in the story through different character viewpoints and community dynamics.
