What We Think

"Made" is a solid example of early 2000s reality TV with minimal woke influence. It upholds non-woke values by focusing on individual achievement without ideological preaching, making it a breath of fresh air compared to today’s fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Made" sticks to classic reality TV tropes: helping teens achieve personal goals, often around sports, arts, or social skills. The focus is on individual growth and effort, not identity politics. Any representation is incidental to the characters’ stories rather than forced or preachy.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show generally reinforces traditional values like hard work, personal responsibility, and self-improvement. Family and mentorship are portrayed positively. Very little to suggest a push against cultural or moral norms of its time.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no overt mocking of alternative worldviews or pushing of modern ideological talking points. The show features a decent variety of personalities and aspirations, staying away from political themes entirely.
