What We Think

Blackwater is a textbook example of hyper-woke storytelling, prioritizing identity politics over authentic narrative and marginalizing traditional values. If you’re looking for genuine pluralism or classic character development, this isn’t the show for you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Blackwater seems almost eager to tick every box you’d find on a diversity checklist, with character backgrounds and identities front and center, at the expense of true story depth. Too often, traits like gender and sexuality appear prioritized over meaningful character arcs or stakes, leaving the narrative feeling forced and agenda-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, faith, and masculine roles, tend to get reinterpreted or even subtly mocked throughout Blackwater. Masculinity is pathologized, and families operating in any traditional sense are painted as problematic or outmoded, all while newer identities are lifted up as progressive ideals.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Any traditional viewpoint is either given the 'ignorant relic' treatment or reserved for the villains. There’s little to no acknowledgment of genuine debate or nuance, everyone of value seems to agree on the same, highly modern worldview, giving the show a stifling ideological feel.
