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

"Hellcats" is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards, focusing on cheerleading drama and character arcs over ideology. While not without a touch of progressive seasoning, it mostly remains blissfully unaware of the full Hollywood woke wave to come.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Hellcats" does include a diverse cast for its time, character development focuses on ambition, teamwork, and personal growth rather than box-ticking identity politics. The story is driven by classic underdog and college drama tropes instead of overt ideological aims.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show portrays themes of friendship, competition, loyalty, and family, mostly sticking to traditional dynamics. There are a few moments pushing back against conventional gender roles, but nothing egregiously subversive by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s some modern sensibility and light progressive flavor, but the show largely avoids ideological preaching or heavy-handed dismissal of alternative perspectives. Different worldviews among characters are still present and given reasonable treatment.
