What We Think

"Wings" is about as non-woke as 1990s-American sitcoms get. Its focus is squarely on character-driven comedy rather than box-checking, and viewers looking for a refreshingly apolitical watch will be pleased. Hard to find anything to get worked up about here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Wings" is a classic sitcom that focuses on relatable characters and everyday humor, rarely emphasizing identity over personality or merit. Casting and storylines place far more weight on character quirks and chemistry than on any forced representation. There are few, if any, signs of narrative being bent to serve modern ideological goals.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show generally treats family, friendship, masculinity, and traditional values with respect, often deriving its humor from situational comedy rather than subverting foundational norms. It doesn't challenge or undermine religion, traditional gender roles, or Americana , everything remains pretty sensible and light-hearted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While "Wings" stays within mainstream values, it represents a variety of personalities and perspectives. Traditional and alternative lifestyles coexist in the airport setting, and dissenting views are presented more for laughs than as malevolent or caricatured. Ideological messaging hardly registers here.
