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

'Black Knight' is a masterclass in modern woke storytelling. Identity and ideology dominate every corner, while the narrative and world-building too often take a backseat to contemporary checklists. Not much room for non-woke perspectives here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show leans heavily into diverse casting and identity-focused storytelling, sometimes at the expense of believable character arcs. Representation clearly takes precedence over organic narrative development. At times, characters seem selected and written to tick off modern checkboxes rather than fit naturally within the dystopian world.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Masculinity, tradition, and family aren't just sidelined; they're often depicted as outdated or obstacles to progress. Traditional structures are reimagined or deemed irrelevant, and the show's moral lines are deeply steeped in contemporary, trendy values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are only vaguely referenced, usually in negative light. All major characters operate within the same ideological bubble, with dissent either mocked or quickly dismissed. Diversity of thought takes a backseat to ideological conformity.
