What We Think

“Lykke” feels refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It prioritizes character-driven storytelling instead of checking diversity boxes or crusading for ideological conformity. While it pokes fun at some cultural norms, it doesn’t seem preoccupied with messaging. For those exhausted by modern Hollywood’s priorities, this show is a low-woke, mostly safe bet.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

“Lykke,” released in 2011, largely focuses on its quirky protagonist and workplace satire rather than checking diversity boxes for the sake of it. The narrative prioritizes character flaws and personal challenges, not identity politics. There isn’t an overt sense that the story is driven by modern ideological priorities over actual character or plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While there are certainly moments poking fun at traditional workplace and family dynamics, the show isn’t on a crusade to undermine cultural foundations. It satirizes Swedish corporate life and personal relationships but mostly sticks to realistic portrayals without aggressively subverting classic gender or family roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show includes a variety of perspectives and doesn’t force-feed modern identitarian orthodoxy. There’s room for flawed characters and differing worldviews. Traditional viewpoints aren’t irredeemably caricatured. In that sense, “Lykke” feels more open than the trendier monoculture infiltrating later TV offerings.
