Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Pan Am generally focuses on storytelling first, set in the 1960s airline industry, balancing drama and romance with minimal overt ideological interference. While there is some intentional diversity casting and light social commentary, it fits with the era’s themes instead of overshadowing character or narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show addresses shifting gender roles and social change, but still respects the values and context of its historical setting. It recognizes traditional family and moral values of the early 1960s without outright mockery or wholesale revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the series touches on feminism and civil rights themes, it allows room for various viewpoints and avoids strawman portrayals of traditional or dissenting characters. There’s genuine interpersonal conflict and varied perspectives present in storylines.
