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

It Started With a Kiss barely registers on the woke scale. It sticks to classic romantic tropes, steers clear of identity politics, and offers up a straightforward, traditional view of relationships. Anyone tired of ‘woke’ overload will find this refreshingly simple.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely prioritizes romantic comedy over ideological messaging. Character traits and dynamics are driven by narrative needs and genre conventions, not forced social statements. Diverse casting or identity focus is practically absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, romance, and gender dynamics are at the forefront, with clear male and female roles. While sometimes bordering on melodrama, there’s minimal subversion of cultural norms or values, and it generally celebrates them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews rarely come up, but this feels more like genre and cultural context than any ideological filter. There’s no sense that dissenting views are mocked or villainized , it all stays in the light-hearted, non-political lane.
