What We Think

"Permanent Roommates" is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. The show balances modern relationships with traditional values, avoids heavy ideological messaging, and focuses on character-driven humor. It’s a rare example of storytelling that’s more concerned with entertainment than lecture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Permanent Roommates" largely avoids forcing identity politics into its storytelling. Characters are developed based on personality and relatable situations rather than race, gender, or sexuality. The focus remains on relationship dynamics and humor, rather than any visible agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show respectfully portrays themes of family, marriage, and social expectations within Indian society. While there are some modern twists to relationships and traditions, the core values around family and commitment are treated earnestly, without heavy-handed subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

"Permanent Roommates" features some light mockery of tradition and pokes fun at generational gaps, but alternative perspectives (such as parents and elders) get fair representation. There’s no outright villainization of traditional values or dissenters.
