What We Think

'The Scent of Passion' sticks to the classic telenovela playbook, focusing on romance, family, and melodrama without much modern ideological baggage. It’s refreshingly light on wokeness by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'The Scent of Passion' largely focuses on traditional character development and classic telenovela storytelling. The leads are chosen based on fit for the genre rather than checking modern identity boxes, and the narrative appears centered around romance and personal struggles, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show leans into classic family, love, and traditional value structures, and does not overtly undermine religion or classic gender roles. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in a conventional, melodramatic style without overt mockery or subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the story operates within familiar telenovela moral frameworks, there's little evidence of overt ideological preaching or villainization of traditional perspectives. Alternative or dissenting views aren't really explored, but that's typical for the genre.
