What We Think

"Picket Fences" is about as non-woke as network TV gets, tackling social issues without reducing every character to a checkbox or lecturing the audience. It’s more classic Americana with oddball twists than modern ideological programming.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Picket Fences" mainly focuses on small-town drama and quirky cases, prioritizing character development and story over pushing identity politics. There is little evidence of forced representation or shifting character priorities to serve modern ideological agendas. It’s far from what we'd call a "woke" showcase.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show explores religion, family, and morality in nuanced ways typical of early '90s television. While it sometimes questions certain norms, it largely respects traditional cultural foundations and portrays them as complex rather than backward or outdated.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed ideological monoculture here. "Picket Fences" often showcases clashing viewpoints and moral dilemmas. Its small-town milieu features traditional and progressive voices, giving genuine space to different perspectives without simply mocking one side.
