What We Think

The Real Housewives of Potomac is more concerned with drama than with pushing any particular ideological agenda. While it features a diverse cast, its primary focus remains on interpersonal fireworks rather than woke sermonizing. Woke score: very low.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The Real Housewives of Potomac is a reality show that emphasizes drama, interpersonal relationships, and luxury lifestyles. It does feature a predominantly African-American cast, but the focus is on personal drama rather than overt ideological or identity-driven storytelling. Character arcs are driven more by real-life antics than forced representation or agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show's main concerns are glitz, materialism, and social status, rather than undermining tradition, masculinity, religion, or family structures. Traditional values aren’t mocked so much as ignored in the name of entertainment. It’s not out to subvert anything; it’s about flashy lifestyles and personal feuds.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't explored, but that's less a result of ideological messaging and more a function of the show's single-minded focus on interpersonal drama. There’s no real effort to villainize any specific perspective, if anything, pettiness is universal here.
