What We Think

Roadies sits on the lower end of the 'woke' spectrum by today’s standards. It has some modern themes and a diverse crew, but it doesn’t hammer ideological points. Ultimately, it cares more about classic rock ‘n’ roll vibes than rewriting cultural norms.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Roadies centers on the behind-the-scenes crew of a touring band, focusing more on personal and workplace quirks than heavy-handed identity politics. While there's a diverse cast, character development generally outweighs any overt agenda. Forced representation and flawless diverse heroes weren't the core experience here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show does lightly poke fun at some traditional values, but mostly celebrates the 'found family' dynamic of roadies. There isn't much narrative energy spent mocking masculinity or subverting tradition for its own sake. Religion and morality barely factor in at all.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews exist, mostly played for laughs rather than full-on villainization. The show tends to keep things quirky rather than ideological, though it’s still firmly in the modern, urban cultural lane.
