Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The narrative centers on relatable coming-of-age stories, friendship, and personal growth, without shoehorning in ideology or prioritizing characters' identities over their personalities. Casting choices and character arcs reflect realism and merit typical of early '80s Spanish television, not modern quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, friendship, authority, and community, are largely respected. While some episodes gently question norms, the show maintains a fundamentally traditional Spanish worldview, without mocking or undermining religion, masculinity, or national heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are presented with some nuance. The show doesn't villainize traditional views or push a singular ideology. Differences between characters reflect real societal tensions, but the tone remains balanced and sincere rather than preachy or mocking.
