In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A Wilderness of Error is refreshingly non-woke for modern television. It avoids the typical pitfalls of forced representation or heavy-handed ideology, focusing instead on intriguing real-life events and complex human motivations.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is a true crime documentary that largely focuses on the complexities of the Jeffrey MacDonald case. There is minimal evidence of forced representation or narrative detours for ideological messaging. The focus remains on legal questions and the personalities involved, not identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, morality, and justice are explored strictly in relation to the case, not deconstructed to suit modern ideological trends. There’s no major subversion of gender roles or heavy-handed take on cultural traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary sticks to the story without villainizing dissenting views; it even plays with ambiguity around the main case. There's a diversity of perspectives presented, and it avoids painting alternative worldviews with a broad brush.
