Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Nouba, set in Algeria, primarily focuses on character-driven storytelling and authentic cultural narratives. There is little evidence of forced representation or characters artificially elevated for ideological reasons. Most casting and character arcs serve the story’s context.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show deeply engages with Algerian traditions, gender roles, and family, depicting both strengths and struggles. While it features strong female leads, it doesn’t blatantly ridicule masculinity or overturn core cultural values in favor of trendy ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are certainly progressive elements, but alternative views, rooted in tradition and family, are explored with nuance. The series allows for some internal societal conflict, rather than enforcing a completely one-note worldview.
