The Four Seasons
tv·15·May 1, 2025·
The Four Seasons earns a moderate 5/10 woke score for its updated diverse casting—including a normalized interracial gay couple—while centering universal Gen X relationship issues over any activist messaging.
The Four Seasons is a modern Netflix adaptation of the 1981 Alan Alda film, following three middle-aged couples who maintain seasonal vacation traditions while navigating marital strains, divorce, grief, reinvention, and the dynamics of long-term friendships.
Progressive elements are limited to intentional casting updates, notably the inclusion of an interracial gay couple (Colman Domingo as Danny and Marco Calvani as Claude) presented as normalized members of the core group with an open relationship, alongside broader diverse representation that functions as background rather than plot driver. The core premise and themes remain centered on universal Gen X relationship issues and group interactions, with no evidence of identity politics, systemic critiques, gender-swapping, or activist messaging taking center stage. This results in an overall woke score of 5/10, reflecting moderate progressive casting choices that update the source material without collapsing the narrative into ideological territory, as audience reception focuses instead on tone, humor, and midlife relatability.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
