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

Big Shots mostly avoids modern woke pitfalls. It’s a fairly standard mid-2000s drama with flawed male leads, traditional themes, and minimal identity politics. The show feels like a time capsule from before Hollywood’s recent ideological wave.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Big Shots (2007) centers on four male executives navigating personal and professional challenges. The narrative focuses more on personal flaws and relationships than box-ticking for diverse representation. Characters are developed with recognizable weaknesses and strengths, and identity politics barely factor into casting or storylines.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show leans into traditional themes of masculinity, corporate ambition, and family drama. While it may poke fun at male stereotypes, it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine cultural traditions, religion, or heteronormative family structures. Little effort is spent subverting traditional roles or rewriting history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are presented through flawed but relatable characters. There’s little sense of modern ideological conformity or caricaturing of conventional values. Occasional gentle jabs at the excess of corporate life, but nothing resembling today’s ideological echo chambers.
