What We Think

The 1975 "One Day at a Time" barely registers on the modern ‘woke’ meter. Its progressive moments are subtle and rooted in character, not ideology. Compared to today’s Hollywood output, it’s practically a non-woke time capsule.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The original 1975 "One Day at a Time" largely prioritizes character-driven stories over identity-based narratives. While it was progressive for its time, centering on a divorced single mother, it doesn't hammer home modern political agendas or reduce characters to mere symbols of representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show addresses changing family dynamics (divorce, women entering the workforce), which was edgy in its era, but it steers clear of outright attacking traditional values. It explores these themes through relatable struggles, rather than framing old norms as irredeemably bad or outdated.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

"One Day at a Time" explores challenging themes but offers a mix of viewpoints, often showing both sides of issues like marriage, parenting, and gender roles. It stops short of pushing a strict ideological monoculture by today's standards.
