What We Think

Love is a rare recent example of a mainstream show that doesn’t go overboard on woke trends. Its focus remains on relatable struggles, flawed characters, and authentic romance, rather than ideological box-checking. Pretty non-woke by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Love focuses primarily on realistic, character-driven relationships without shoehorning in forced representation or making characters one-dimensional for ideological reasons. The leads’ flaws are central to the drama and comedy, showing growth and consequences for their actions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the series has some modern sensibilities, it doesn’t take aim at traditional values in an egregious way. Relationships, personal responsibility, and self-improvement are treated seriously, no heavy-handed undermining of family, masculinity, or tradition present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Although it’s set in liberal Los Angeles and most characters share similar cultural views, alternative worldviews aren’t demonized. There isn’t a parade of villainous caricatures based on political or religious stereotypes.
