What We Think

'The Great Indoors' is surprisingly non-woke by modern standards, poking fun at trendy ideologies more than embracing them. Traditional roles and viewpoints are treated with respect and featured prominently, making it a rare example of Hollywood not joining the chorus of ideological conformity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'The Great Indoors' generally prioritizes character dynamics and traditional workplace sitcom storytelling over shoehorning in ideological messaging. While there are references to millennial stereotypes and modern topics, most characters are defined by their personalities rather than purely identity factors.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series often pokes fun at generational differences but does so from a place of light satire rather than outright subversion of traditional values. The older, more rugged protagonist is presented with respect, and his worldview is given genuine weight.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, particularly those representing more traditional or non-woke views, are not only present but often form the comedic center of the show. There is a decent balance between viewpoints without outright villainizing more conventional opinions.
