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

Hollywood Heights is refreshingly low on the 'woke' scale by modern standards. It remains a character-driven, melodramatic teen drama rather than a vehicle for pushing ideology. A rare example where the plot actually matters more than the messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Hollywood Heights mostly sticks to classic teen soap conventions, focusing on personal ambition and relationships rather than overemphasizing identity politics. Casting choices and character arcs prioritize story and entertainment over messaging, at least by today's standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series doesn't go out of its way to undermine family, tradition, or masculinity. Most characters' backgrounds and values are treated in a fairly neutral fashion, and traditional teen romance tropes dominate. Nothing here that screams agenda-driven disruption.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are no overt caricatures of tradition or conservative perspectives, and the show offers a mix of characters with varying backgrounds and goals. While positive, it's still mostly a typical mainstream teen drama without a lot of ideological diversity.
