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 Real Housewives of Melbourne is almost refreshingly non-woke. It's mostly guilty of superficiality, not social engineering. If you're looking for a drama-filled show blissfully unaware of modern ideological trends, this is one of the safer bets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While personality and superficial drama drive the show, it doesn't appear that identity politics or forced representation override character arcs. The focus is on the personal and often extravagant lives of affluent women, not ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are on full display, with an emphasis on family, wealth, and status. Masculinity isn't central here, but neither is it vilified. The show's drama stems mostly from interpersonal conflicts, not from attacking cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The cast shares similar socio-economic backgrounds, but there's no overt ideological preaching. Dissent mostly manifests as petty feuds, not debates on social justice or identity issues. Alternative or traditional views are not mocked or caricatured.
