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

The Baxters feels refreshingly earnest, prioritizing family, faith, and storytelling without caving to modern ideological trends. Its focus on traditional values over woke messaging makes it one of the more non-woke contemporary dramas around.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Baxters centers on family, faith, and relatable struggles, with narrative focus on character and interpersonal drama rather than box-checking identity politics. Characters are cast to fit realistic family dynamics instead of forced representation, and personality arcs remain believable and grounded.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, the show openly engages with themes of Christianity, marriage, forgiveness, and family bonds, upholding rather than undermining traditional values. Masculinity, femininity, religion, and marriage are portrayed with nuance and respect typical of non-woke fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show does center around a faith-driven American family, alternate viewpoints (doubts, struggles with faith) are included in a sincere manner. Traditional worldviews aren’t mocked. Some may feel perspectives outside the show's faith are underrepresented, but it is not a one-note echo chamber.
