What We Think

While 'American Soul' offers an engaging look at a key cultural moment, its commitment to modern ideology sometimes comes at the expense of narrative depth and plurality. It's a product of its time, high on representation and low on non-woke diversity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show often prioritizes identity and representation over nuanced character development. It leans heavily into celebrating diversity, which, while central to its premise, sometimes overshadows more traditional storytelling dynamics and complex character arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and traditional values are depicted, but often through a lens that emphasizes struggle against systemic oppression. Masculinity is present but typically challenged or redefined, aligning with modern re-evaluations rather than upholding classical standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially of a more traditional or non-woke nature, rarely get sincere treatment. The show tends to promote a uniform perspective aligned with modern progressive ideals, with little substantial debate or dissent.
