Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series focuses on Bobby Kennedy’s political rise, emphasizing historical events and people over identity checklists. While there’s a modern gaze on past civil rights activism, it generally avoids sacrificing story for current ideological trends and doesn’t shoehorn forced representation or flawless modern archetypes into the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There’s an underlying critique of 1960s American power structures, and traditional institutions face some scrutiny. The era’s family values and religious overtones are present but sometimes filtered through today’s political lens. While it doesn’t outright attack cultural foundations, it subtly questions them from a modern standpoint.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show largely frames events through progressive ideals, with dissenting opinions presented through historical antagonists. Alternative views, especially those outside left-leaning perspectives, aren’t explored in depth, and there’s an overarching sympathy for Kennedy’s positions, with less ideological pluralism than possible.
