#blackAF2020

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

#blackAF turns wokeness up to eleven, prioritizing race-centric narratives and lampooning traditional cultural values. It's a poster child for the new-wave Hollywood formula, one that's not shy about sidelining other viewpoints.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

#blackAF places a huge emphasis on identity and race, often building episodes around social commentary rather than organic character development. Character traits like race and cultural background are foregrounded, sometimes at the expense of nuanced storytelling or growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show regularly critiques or subverts traditional institutions like family dynamics and works hard to position old norms as outdated. Masculinity, parental authority, and classic family structures are often pushed aside in favor of edgy, modern takes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives on race, family, and American culture are mostly absent or mocked. The show largely exists within a single ideological bubble; any dissenting voices are portrayed as clueless or problematic, rarely given legitimate space.
