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

"Hache" keeps its wokeness to a minimum. While featuring a strong female lead, it balances her journey with period authenticity, layered characters, and genuine moral complexity. Definitely more non-woke than your typical modern streaming drama.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Hache" mostly puts story first, focusing on crime, loyalty, and ambition in 1960s Barcelona. While the main character is female and defies period gender norms, her development feels woven into the gritty narrative rather than shoehorned for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show acknowledges traditional elements like family and religion but doesn't go out of its way to attack or belittle these foundations. Some may interpret Helena's independence as subtly subversive, but contextually it fits the crime noir setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative views are represented, particularly through male crime bosses and various moral actors. The show provides a range of perspectives, greed, loyalty, desperation, not just a single approved worldview.
