Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

State of the Union focuses on character-driven dialogue between a married couple in counseling. The story is grounded in realism rather than overtly prioritizing identity factors or shoehorning diversity for its own sake. However, there is some subtle emphasis on modern relationship dynamics over traditional narrative structures.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show does dissect marriage and challenges some aspects of traditional roles, but doesn't outright mock or deride family or religion. Masculinity is questioned, and there's a nudge toward critiquing conventional gender roles, but it stops short of full subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is a clear tilt toward contemporary, urban values, with little room given to more traditional or dissenting perspectives. While not caricaturing alternatives, the focus remains on modern relationship issues, leaving limited ideological diversity.
