What We Think

For a show released in 2014, 'Glue' is surprisingly reserved on the woke front. While there is some diverse representation, it's far from the dominant theme; the story mostly lets characters and mystery take center stage. Not exactly a non-woke haven, but a far cry from today's over-the-top examples.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'Glue' features some diverse casting, it doesn't appear to prioritize identity over character or story. The central mystery and personalities take precedence, and the cast's diversity serves more as background than as a driving ideological force.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, community, and loyalty are important to the plot, and there's no major subversion of masculinity or obvious attempt to rewrite cultural history. The rural setting provides a relatively grounded backdrop, avoiding overtly modern ideological messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Although contemporary issues are touched on, the show generally avoids caricaturing traditional perspectives or pushing overt ideological uniformity. There is room for conflicting worldviews and tensions without heavy-handed villainization of alternatives.
