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

'Anthracite' checks almost every box on the woke scorecard, prioritizing identity politics over grounded storytelling, diminishing cultural staples, and offering little room for alternative perspectives. It’s a textbook example of modern Hollywood’s ideological echo chamber.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show places heavy emphasis on identity, characters are defined as much by demographics as personality, and certain plot points feel crafted more for representation than organic storytelling. Merit and narrative logic sometimes take a backseat to diversity checkboxes, which can take viewers out of the story at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics and religious elements are often depicted as relics or sources of dysfunction, while modern values are elevated uncritically. Masculinity is frequently undermined or pathologized, with female and queer characters predominantly shown as moral beacons or sources of wisdom.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show largely excludes or caricatures traditional viewpoints, presenting dissent as ignorance or villainy. All main characters default to the same progressive assumptions, with little meaningful ideological debate or pluralism, creating a near-uniform worldview throughout.
