What We Think

"American Gods" stands as a showcase of modern 'woke' TV, prioritizing identity, reimagining tradition through a contemporary lens, and allowing little room for classical values or sincere alternative viewpoints.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, "American Gods" regularly emphasizes identity and symbolic diversity above character depth or story realism. Casting and plotlines often prioritize social commentary or spectacle over organic narrative development, leading to identity traits overshadowing character motivations or consistency.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional religion, masculinity, and family are depicted as relics or even problematic forces, often mocked or inverted in favor of reinvented, modernized beliefs and lifestyles. The show seems especially eager to reinterpret folklore and cultural myths for present-day ideological aims.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series rarely treats traditional perspectives with nuance, with dissenting or culturally rooted characters portrayed as outdated, unstable, or villainous. Modern attitudes toward gender, race, and belief dominate, creating an echo chamber with little meaningful debate or plurality.
