Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

MotherFatherSon focuses primarily on family drama, legacy, and power struggles rather than pushing identity politics. Characters' personalities and conflict drive the plot more than their demographic traits, keeping narrative integrity mostly intact by today’s standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show critiques aspects of the media and political world, it presents family, parenthood, and even masculine struggles in a nuanced, if sometimes harsh, light, rather than simply subverting them for modern sensibilities. It mostly avoids heavy-handed criticisms found in more 'woke' fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Though there are occasional contemporary themes and moments of progressive critique, the show includes conflicting worldviews and flawed characters on all sides. Dissenting perspectives are given some room, even if certain outlooks are portrayed as troubling or flawed.
