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

Classic, charmingly weird, and nearly untouched by today's ideology. 'The Addams Family' is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on quirky fun rather than messaging. A relic from a time before Hollywood found its checklist.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1964 'Addams Family' showcases eccentric characters, but casting and character development are driven by personality and humor, not identity checklists. Storytelling focuses on family antics rather than superficial representation points. Nothing here feels forced for the sake of modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the Addamses are unconventional, the show humorously upholds the value of family, marriage, and loyalty. Masculinity and femininity are playfully caricatured, not undermined. There's no open critique or subversion of deeper cultural traditions, just good-natured satire with a wholesome undertone.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews (in this case, the Addamses) are celebrated for their uniqueness rather than villainized. The show thrives on the contrast between the 'normal' world and the Addams' values, finding humor without messaging or mockery of traditional viewpoints.
