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

'Dead and Buried' isn’t the wokest show around, but it certainly checks off a few modern boxes. It injects social themes without totally derailing the plot, but you can definitely feel Hollywood sensibilities bubbling beneath the surface. Not unwatchable, but not untouched by the current trends either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

From what we know, 'Dead and Buried' appears to feature a contemporary cast with some emphasis on identity, but doesn't blatantly sacrifice story for ideology. Characters largely serve narrative needs, although modern issues occasionally peek through the cracks.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series nods to traditional settings yet threads in critiques of small-town norms and authorities. While religion and family aren't outright mocked, their portrayal sometimes leans into skepticism or progressive undertones, nudging the score upward.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While not the most egregious example, dissenting perspectives are a bit thin; when alternative worldviews appear, they're rarely treated with depth or genuine sympathy. There's a tendency for most characters to orbit similar values.
