What We Think

Tales of Wells Fargo is about as far from woke as you’ll find. It’s a straight-shooting, traditional Western that upholds classic values without a hint of modern ideological revisionism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Tales of Wells Fargo sticks closely to classic Western traditions, focusing on character, skill, duty, and good versus evil, rather than checking modern identity boxes. There's no sense that casting or character arcs are dictated by anything but story logic, and you'd be hard pressed to find a single modern ideological detour in its narratives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This is about as classic as it gets: the show upholds traditional American values, portrays masculinity in a heroic light, and respects law, family, and order. Religion makes occasional appearances, always respectfully, and there's zero effort to subvert established roles or American folklore, if anything, it indulges them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show presents a mostly traditional worldview and doesn't offer much in the way of diverse perspectives, it doesn’t actively mock opposing views. Alternative lifestyles or dissenting opinions from mainstream values just aren’t part of the era’s TV landscape, but there’s no overt villainization happening.
