In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Michiko & Hatchin avoids heavy-handed wokeness in favor of genuine character-driven storytelling and a nuanced take on cultural themes. It’s refreshingly non-woke for its time and worth watching for anyone tired of Hollywood’s current trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Michiko & Hatchin largely prioritizes strong storytelling and complex characters over box-checking for identity politics. The series centers on two female leads but does not use their backgrounds as a substitute for character development, they’re fully realized, flawed, and layered.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show explores themes like family, morality, and personal growth without overtly undermining traditional values. If anything, it treats family bonds and reconstructs them, instead of mocking or dismissing them. There’s no heavy-handed attack on masculinity or faith, either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the protagonists defy their circumstances, there’s a notable range of perspectives. Neither ‘woke’ nor anti-woke ideas are force-fed to the audience. The show allows for ambiguity and debate, avoiding modern ideological echo chambers.
