Elementary

Type: series

Year: 2012

Wokeness Rating: 3.5/5

Feminism Rating: 4.5/5

ChickFlick Rating: 2/5

Commentary: Elementary features a female lead, Lucy Liu, as Joan Watson, which is a gender-swapped version of the traditionally male character Dr. Watson. This casting choice contributes to both the wokeness and feminism scores. The show also includes LGBTQ+ characters and touches on themes of addiction and recovery, which adds to its wokeness score. However, the show primarily focuses on crime-solving and does not heavily emphasize romantic or emotional storylines typical of a chick flick, resulting in a lower chickflick score. The strong portrayal of a female character in a non-traditional role boosts the feminism score significantly.
