What We Think

'Glory Daze' is refreshingly non-woke, favoring nostalgia and goofy college tropes over ideological posturing. It lets its period setting do the heavy lifting, making it a rare throwback that doesn’t check the usual boxes for modern wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Glory Daze' focuses on a pretty standard coming-of-age college/fraternity story set in the 1980s, with character development prioritized over checking identity boxes. Casting choices generally serve the nostalgic vibe rather than contemporary ideological messaging. Forced representation and flawless diverse characters are essentially absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at '80s stereotypes and college culture, but traditional themes like male bonding, faith, and familial concerns are present, albeit often humorously exaggerated. It's more about reliving the era's hijinks than undermining its core values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints (religious, conservative, etc.) are represented through various college archetypes without systematic mockery or reduction to caricatures. Ideological debates take a back seat to comedy and nostalgia, so uniformity isn’t a problem.
