What We Think

'Headspace Guide to Meditation' stays in its lane, offering pop-mindfulness without heavy-handed woke elements. It’s a bit too sanitized and trendy for some tastes, but ideological grandstanding is minimal, making it one of the least woke shows out of Hollywood recently.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This series is focused on meditation techniques with the main narrative being educational and soothing. There’s little evidence of shoehorning identity politics, forced diversity, or prioritizing ideology over subject matter. The emphasis is on mindfulness rather than character-driven storytelling or token representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show does not attack traditional values, it does promote a somewhat secular, globalist approach to wellbeing. Religion, family, or classic moral foundations are not present or addressed, but they aren’t undermined or mocked either , simply absent in favor of wellness trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show sticks almost entirely to the ideology of mindfulness, with little room for alternative perspectives. Traditional religious and cultural approaches to meditation are not explored, and Westernized mindfulness is the sole focus, but it avoids overt political content.
