What We Think

"Younger" isn’t the most extreme example of wokeness, but it’s clear where its priorities lie. If you’re looking for traditional storytelling or a genuine range of perspectives, you’ll probably find the show on the woke-leaning side.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Younger" relies heavily on the premise of a woman faking her age to overcome supposed ageism, and often leans into modern identity trends. While not as overtly ideological as other shows, some character arcs and dialogue are clearly shaped around talking points relevant to current cultural discussions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional views on family and marriage are backgrounded or poked fun at. The show places heavy emphasis on progressive notions of female independence and workplace empowerment, sometimes at the expense of portraying traditional choices as valid.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, such as traditional gender roles or more conservative attitudes, are mostly presented as obstacles or the butt of jokes. Nearly all main characters reflect a progressive urban worldview, with little serious engagement with dissenting opinions.
