What We Think

‘The Five Juanas’ courts a high woke score: identity, trauma, and progressive themes dominate, overshadowing more balanced character arcs or traditional values. Viewers seeking a less ideologically driven narrative may find the series especially heavy-handed.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show places a heavy emphasis on the diversity and traumatic backgrounds of its central female characters. While this provides some narrative intrigue, it leans into identity-driven storytelling, at times prioritizing backstory and representation over organic character growth or nuance.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures, religion, and masculine authority figures are portrayed with skepticism or outright negativity. The narrative often reframes familial and institutional norms as hurdles the heroines must uproot, giving a modern spin that many would see as undercutting cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show's worldview is strongly aligned with contemporary progressive ideals. Traditionalist or dissenting perspectives are minimal, depicted superficially or negatively. Nearly all protagonists share a similar ideology, with limited debate or diversity of thought.
