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

Girlfriends doesn’t break records for wokeness, but it’s definitely tuned in to modern social themes, prioritizing progressive female-centric and anti-traditional perspectives over balanced representation. Expect a strong dose of ideological uniformity, with little room for good old-fashioned viewpoints.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Narrative seems to prioritize exploring hot-button identity and social issues (female friendships, empowerment, age) over traditional character-driven storytelling. While not completely overwhelmed by ideology, it leans heavily into emphasizing the protagonists’ demographic traits over deeper individual flaws or growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show often challenges or subverts conventional views on gender roles, marriage, and family, focusing on independent women navigating life without much reference to tradition or faith. Masculinity is somewhat sidelined while the women are portrayed as strong and resilient, pushing modern gender dynamics.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional perspectives are mostly absent or treated as outdated for comic effect. The main characters almost universally share a modern, progressive outlook, leaving little ideological diversity or debate within the friend group or their narratives.
