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

Summerland is refreshingly non-woke. It’s focused on authentic storytelling and genuine family bonds, avoiding the trendy ideological overload typical of more recent TV fare. Frankly, it’s almost nostalgic to see a show like this keep its narrative priorities straight.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Summerland centers on family, relationships, and real human drama. Characters are developed based on personality and believable growth, not just their identities. It avoids the identity box-ticking that’s so common in modern shows. There’s no evidence that narrative takes a backseat to ideology here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show portrays traditional family values, with a strong emphasis on themes like loss, responsibility, and personal growth. Masculinity, femininity, and family roles are treated with respect, and cultural touchstones are not subverted for modern ideological points.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, and there’s no obvious mockery of more traditional viewpoints. The show respects pluralism, letting characters differ in beliefs and approaches without obvious agenda-pushing or villainization of traditional values.
