Almost Human2013

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

Almost Human is refreshingly non-woke for a recent sci-fi show, sticking to genre roots and focusing on character and story rather than ideological signaling or heavy-handed messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Almost Human focuses on its sci-fi police procedural narrative, and identity factors are not emphasized over character development or storytelling. Casting seems more about fit, Karl Urban and Michael Ealy have strong chemistry and drive the story. Ideology doesn't appear to trump narrative integrity here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show presents masculinity, morality, and partnership in a mostly traditional, non-cynical light. There's no overt subversion of gender roles, both main characters showcase strengths and flaws. The worldview is largely consistent with the genre's usual values, without obvious attempts at cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren't caricatured or villainized. While the setting is generally modern, it doesn't aggressively push any ideological uniformity. The characters are diverse in background but reflect different viewpoints and personalities, rather than a ‘one-thought-fits-all’ dynamic.
