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

Seinfeld is refreshingly non-woke, a true relic of pre-woke television. It focuses on comedy and flawed characters, not pushing ideology or box-ticking representation.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Seinfeld puts character and comedic situations first, rarely, if ever, sacrificing narrative for ideological purposes. Casting and stories emphasize realism within its New York setting, relying on strong, flawed personalities, not diversity checklists or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While often irreverent, the show doesn’t take direct aim at traditional religion, family, or gender roles. Masculinity is gently mocked but not pathologized, and social traditions usually serve as fodder for humor rather than targets for political revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Seinfeld offers a diversity of quirky, self-absorbed characters who poke fun at all sorts of perspectives. There’s no ideological preaching, and alternative views aren’t villainized, if anything, everyone is mocked equally.
