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

The Millionaire Matchmaker is decidedly non-woke, sticking to classic matchmaking tropes and traditional cultural norms, with little effort to insert modern ideological themes. It’s a relic from a less agenda-driven era of reality TV.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Millionaire Matchmaker focuses strictly on traditional matchmaking, with narratives built around relationship drama and personal quirks, not identity politics. Casting decisions revolve around personality and dating compatibility rather than ticking diversity boxes. Ideology doesn't override entertainment value.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show unapologetically leans into traditional gender roles and dating norms, heterosexual dynamics, traditional views about marriage, and classic male-female interactions are at the core. Modern critiques of masculinity, family, or religion are largely absent. Nothing here would ruffle non-woke sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While alternative dating perspectives are not highlighted, the show does not go out of its way to mock or villainize dissent, it’s just operating in a pre-woke TV dating reality bubble. Any lack of diversity is more a product of the era and genre, not agenda-driven messaging.
