Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show prioritizes character depth and realistic growth. While it does explore gender roles, its main characters grapple with personal flaws, class conflict, and aspirations in a believable manner. Identity markers seldom overshadow story or merit within the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values concerning family, religion, and gender are not demonized but discussed, often thoughtfully. The male and female leads are granted dignity in their struggles, and issues like marriage and societal expectations are approached with nuance, not mocked or subverted for modern ideological purposes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are presented sincerely. Characters hold different beliefs about gender, social class, and tradition, leading to meaningful conflict. There is no overt villainization of traditional or dissenting perspectives; instead, the show offers a spectrum of worldviews.
