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

A nostalgic, offbeat gem that puts storytelling and character first. Aside from some gentle oddball satire, there’s practically no woke agenda lurking behind the scenes. It’s about as non-woke as 90s kid TV gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on quirky adventures, with characters fleshed out for humor and heart rather than shoehorned identity politics. Representation aligns with the story’s suburban setting and time, and character dynamics feel organic and genuine rather than agenda-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, friendship, and small-town values are celebrated, and traditional roles are depicted without mockery or revisionism. The show doesn’t go out of its way to undermine masculinity, faith, or other cultural touchstones, instead embracing them in a whimsical tone.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Adventures of Pete & Pete' is free from overt ideological messaging. Worldviews differ among eccentric characters, and there’s no attempt to enforce ideological conformity or villainize dissent. The show is refreshingly pluralistic and apolitical.
