In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Pushing Daisies is gloriously non-woke by modern standards. Its focus is firmly on its own whimsical storytelling and visual flair, not on pushing modern ideological narratives. A breath of fresh air from what we see in Hollywood today.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Pushing Daisies is refreshingly focused on quirky storytelling and whimsical romance, rather than shoehorning in identity politics. Character development centers on their personal quirks, rather than checkboxes for diversity for the sake of it. No sign of narrative sacrificed for ideology here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show takes a pretty light-handed approach to themes like family, romance, and morality. There's little in the way of subverting gender roles or bashing traditional values; if anything, it feels charmingly apolitical and nostalgic at times.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear lack of forced ideological messaging or blatantly one-sided morality. The series actually embraces a range of eccentric viewpoints, treating characters like individuals versus archetypes. Any commentary is more absurdist or fantastical than ideological.
