Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Overhaulin'' sticks to straightforward car restoration without inserting identity politics or forced character traits. The show focuses on automotive skill, creativity, and craftsmanship, with personalities defined by enthusiasm for cars rather than modern identity narratives. There’s no evidence of storylines being compromised for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This is about as non-woke as it gets. 'Overhaulin'' celebrates hands-on skills, teamwork, and good-spirited pranks. Traditional masculine roles, mechanics, engineers, car lovers, are presented positively, without mocking or undermining. Core values like hard work and loyalty are front and center throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s virtually no ideological content at all, let alone a monoculture. The show is about restoring cars and surprising owners. No one lectures the audience or pushes a worldview. If anything, 'Overhaulin'' feels refreshingly apolitical by today's standards.
