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 product of 1980s feminist storytelling, 'She-Devil' breaks a few taboos and takes aim at traditional gender roles. It's not nearly as overtly woke as modern fare, but the groundwork is definitely there, steering viewers toward a decidedly untraditional take on marriage and femininity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show centers on feminist themes, the characters, particularly the protagonist, are well developed and the plot is driven by personal motivations rather than overt ideological messaging. Identity politics are present but do not entirely overshadow the narrative craftsmanship.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series unmistakably subverts traditional views of marriage, family, and femininity, casting patriarchy and conventional female roles in a critical light. Family and marriage are depicted as oppressive for the heroine, signaling a clear push against traditional cultural values of the era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative, more traditional perspectives on gender and family are largely sidelined or depicted as sources of oppression. While not cartoonishly villainous, such views are not presented with much sympathy or nuance, making the ideological landscape rather one-sided.
