What We Think

Revenge is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It’s a classic soap-driven thriller that sidesteps the identity politics and modern box-checking that seems to clog up so many newer shows.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Revenge’s narrative is driven by personal vendetta, intrigue, and complex relationships rather than by enforcing any particular ideological agenda. The cast and character arcs generally emphasize personality and drama over identity boxes, and plotlines avoid obvious injections of modern ‘checkbox’ representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics and cultural values are central to the story. Masculinity and femininity are depicted in fairly classic fashion, with strong female and male characters who both have flaws and complexities. Any subversions are consistent with the soap-drama genre, not overt ideological messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, greed, revenge, loyalty, justice, are all explored through the diverse cast of characters. There’s little sign of the current-era ideological monoculture; viewers are treated to a wide moral spectrum, not a one-dimensional take.
