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

Scarecrow and Mrs. King is a charming example of pre-woke television, valuing story, character development, and traditional themes without agenda-driven distractions. Refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Scarecrow and Mrs. King generally maintains classic storytelling, focusing on character competence, gradual growth, and believable relationships. While Amanda King is a female lead, her development feels organic, not shoehorned by modern-day identity priorities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, friendship, and responsibility are often celebrated, not mocked. Masculinity and femininity are depicted positively and in complementary fashion, with Amanda balancing her secret agent work with motherhood and Lee as the capable, respected male agent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear plurality of worldviews, and traditional roles are rarely presented as backward or villainous. The show doesn’t seem interested in pushing one modern ideological narrative or villainizing alternatives.
