What We Think

‘The Maxx’ is more bizarre than woke. Largely free of modern progressive tropes, it delivers a unique, trippy character study without preaching identity-based ideology. Non-woke viewers can relax; this one’s too busy being strange to push an agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Maxx' is much more concerned with surreal psychological exploration than with pushing identity politics. Characters are defined by trauma, mental health, and existential struggles rather than by checkboxes for representation. There’s next to no emphasis on modern woke talking points. The narrative stays true to its oddball, gritty roots.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family or religious themes are notably absent, but the show doesn’t mock or directly undermine those values either. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed with nuance and brokenness, not as moral lessons about modern gender theory. Anything subversive comes from the show's bleak worldview, not from cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little outright ideology at all, let alone a modern ideological monoculture. The focus is on psychological and existential questions. No major theme attacks traditional beliefs, nor are dissenting views caricatured. It’s just weird, not ‘woke.’
