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

"David Makes Man" is a polished, introspective drama that can be seen as a showcase for woke storytelling: identity-focused, modern in its moral assumptions, and rarely giving traditional values or viewpoints equal footing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show is clearly interested in exploring identity and intersectionality, making character background and experience central to the narrative. While the personal journey is compelling, at times the focus on social themes feels prioritized over organic plot or character growth, nudging the story into message territory.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and community structures are depicted as complicated, often troubled, and established cultural values are questioned. Masculinity undergoes deconstruction, and the show leans into modern reinterpretations of family and morality, reflecting contemporary ideological trends rather than time-tested values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are minimally explored. The show tends to present modern progressive values as the only legitimate lens, and characters upholding traditional perspectives rarely get nuanced treatment, if they're present at all. Dissenting or complex takes are largely absent.
