What We Think

The 2022 version of “The Time Traveler’s Wife” is hardly a woke-fest. It sprinkles in some mild modern tweaks, but for the most part, it’s just a contemporary love story with the occasional social update. Woke influences are definitely present, but not overwhelming.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the show has some updates to character backgrounds and minor diversity casting, it generally keeps the personal love story at the center. Themes of identity aren't pushed to the extreme, but there are moments where social messaging gently peeks through. Overall, the narrative isn’t completely sidetracked by ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional relationships, marriage, and family dynamics remain at the show’s core, with only faint gestures toward modern beliefs. There’s no heavy-handed mockery of masculinity or religion. Any tweaks to gender dynamics feel mild and almost perfunctory, rather than agenda-driven.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show does lean toward modern social attitudes, but it mostly avoids caricaturing dissenting opinions. There’s not much ideological pluralism, yet viewers aren’t clubbed over the head with one-sided messaging or villainization of traditional worldviews.
