What We Think

'The Fame Game' flirts with some modern ideological tropes but keeps its core grounded in character drama and cultural nuance. Not exactly non-woke, but far from the most egregious offender by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the series incorporates some commentary on female empowerment and sexual identity, the core mystery and Bollywood intrigue largely drive the narrative. Identity themes exist, but aren't hammered in at the expense of character or story development. The focus stays mostly on drama and personal struggles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show does critique elements of traditional family and patriarchal expectations, exploring the costs of fame and societal pressure, but also portrays family bonds and Indian culture with some nuance. There’s a bit of modern sensibility, though it doesn’t entirely mock cultural roots.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are moments of cultural critique, but the show doesn't aggressively villainize traditional perspectives. Some plotlines question social conventions, but alternative views are present, albeit sometimes sidelined. Overall, there’s not a total monoculture; debate exists within the family dynamic.
