What We Think

'How to Make It in America' is a rare example of a non-woke modern show: narrative comes first, traditional values persist, and alternative viewpoints get their due. Low on the woke-o-meter.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on hustle, ambition, and friendship among diverse, often flawed characters. While it includes some modern themes and representation, character backgrounds generally serve the story rather than overwhelm it. Forced representation and ideological priorities are minimal here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like work ethic, loyalty, and entrepreneurship are at the core. Family, masculinity, and moral ambiguity are portrayed without overt mockery or revisionist flair. Any subversion is mild and largely in service of realistic storytelling, not ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show highlights pluralism, showing a range of views and backgrounds. There’s little sense of a ‘party line’ that everyone must toe. Dissent and debate arise naturally, without demonizing any one perspective.
