Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show is a satirical soap opera that highlights suburban malaise, it doesn't promote identity above all else. Its focus is on skewering cultural norms rather than aggressive ideological casting. The characters, for better or worse, are fleshed out and rooted in recognizable archetypes, not modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman pokes fun at traditional suburban family life and some social taboos. Still, it doesn't outright vilify religion, masculinity, or the family unit; instead, it lampoons the absurdities and pressures of 1970s culture. There is irreverence, but it's not aggressively revisionist or moralizing by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s some critique of the 'status quo,' but the show is more about satire than ideological conformity. It doesn’t present a hyper-woke, single-minded set of values. Alternative and traditional viewpoints are lampooned, but not demonized.
