What We Think

“Lucky 7” avoids most of the egregious woke pitfalls plaguing recent TV, opting instead for relatable drama rooted in old-fashioned human problems. Diversity and current issues are present, but not forced down the viewer’s throat.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

“Lucky 7” centers on a diverse group of working-class people who win the lottery. The narrative focuses more on economic struggle and interpersonal drama rather than checking diversity or identity boxes. Characterization generally emphasizes backstories and real-world struggles instead of bluntly prioritizing demographic traits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, hard work, and responsibility aren’t ridiculed, instead, they form the backbone of character motivation. There's some exploration of contemporary issues, but not to the point of undermining foundational values or painting masculinity, religion, or tradition as inherently suspect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is some token representation of various backgrounds, but different perspectives on morality, family, and ambition appear and aren’t oversimplified or villainized. Alternative worldviews are present and explored with a fair amount of sincerity, avoiding the outright dismissal found in more modern, hyper-woke productions.
