Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on fitness and self-improvement through the lens of fun, driven characters. Despite a mostly female cast, character identities are centered on motivation and enthusiasm, not on identity politics. There's little evidence of forced representation; most choices serve the show's humorous, slice-of-life tone.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are gently played with, but mostly for comedy. The series celebrates traditionally feminine and masculine traits, poking fun at gym culture in a light-hearted, non-revisionist manner. There's no real attack on religion, family, or traditional values, just gym banter and physical comedy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show isn't exactly a philosophical treatise, but alternative perspectives are not mocked or villainized. It's more interested in gags, workout routines, and relatable struggles than in preaching. No major ideological uniformity or caricaturing of dissenting views.
