These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for Wayne.
Woke representation / casting
The show features minority characters in prominent roles, such as Wayne's best friend Orlando and Officer Ganetti. However, their inclusion is completely natural to the modern working-class settings. Their roles are realistic, incidental, and entirely free of identity signaling, lecturing, or diversity quotas.

Woke political dialogue
The series has no political dialogue or modern activist lectures. The characters speak in a raw, vulgar, and natural way that matches their gritty, working-class backgrounds without any social-justice themes.
0%
Identity-driven story themes
The story is driven by a classic road trip, young romance, and personal vigilante justice. There are no themes focusing on gender, race, or sexual identity.
0%
Western institutional / cultural critique
The show depicts dysfunctional families, bad parents, and corrupt local bullies. However, these issues are shown through a gritty, realistic lens rather than as systemic critiques of capitalism, whiteness, or traditional institutions. Wayne acts as a traditional protector of the weak.
