What We Think

The Nevers is a textbook example of modern Hollywood 'wokeness,' with a strong focus on identity and empowerment, often at the expense of nuance, history, and competing viewpoints. For those tired of ideology crowding out storytelling, this one scores high on the woke-o-meter.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The Nevers leans heavily on identity-based casting and character traits, with much of the narrative focused on empowered women gaining supernatural abilities in a restrictive, patriarchal society. It often feels as if ideological messaging takes precedence over organic character growth and plot development. Flaws and struggles are sometimes painted in broad strokes, leaving less room for complexity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series subverts traditional gender roles by marginalizing or caricaturing male characters. Victorian-era values, religion, and family are routinely portrayed as oppressive or backwards, and the main heroines exhibit distinctly modern sensibilities, often out of step with the show's historical context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews or traditional perspectives are typically shown as antagonistic or unenlightened, rarely given sympathetic exploration. The show reinforces a fairly homogeneous set of modern ideological assumptions with little meaningful debate or pluralism.
