American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders2024

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

While 'American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders' maintains intrigue as a true crime series, its commitment to modern ideology occasionally overshadows nuanced storytelling. It dips a few toes into the woke pool, enough to distract, but not enough to drown entirely.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show largely sticks to its true crime roots but can't help weaving in modern identity issues, particularly when discussing power structures and marginalized voices. While it doesn’t upend the genre, some narrative tension is lost as certain characters are framed through a purely ideological lens.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There are moments where traditional institutions, like government, family, and even journalistic objectivity, are subtly questioned or depicted as complicit in wrongdoing. At times, it seems like every pillar of society is one bad tweet away from indictment. The show could have used more balance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, the series strongly suggests a singular, modern take on social morality, with little room for dissenting or traditional voices. Alternative worldviews are rarely presented except as cautionary tales or failed approaches.
