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

Joe 90 is about as non-woke as they come. The show is a product of its era, prioritizing classic adventure and family bonds over any modern ideological focus. It’s almost refreshing to see such an innocent, straightforward narrative today.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Joe 90 centers a young boy as the protagonist, but not in a way that prioritizes ideology over storytelling. Identity traits aren't emphasized, it's about a kid with access to extraordinary skills via science fiction devices, not about checking representation boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family units, patriotism, and an adventurous spirit form the moral backbone of the series. Masculinity and family are celebrated rather than subverted, with no deconstruction of Western cultural norms or traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No evidence of mocking traditional values or pushing a uniform ideology. While progressive for its time in technical innovation, Joe 90 doesn’t promote any modern ideology or villainize alternatives.
