Dead to Me2019

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 to Me is a prime example of the modern 'woke' dramedy formula: sharp-tongued, female-centered, and heavy on contemporary ideological messaging. Moral complexity takes a back seat to the show’s broader agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show consistently highlights identity and trauma over traditional character-driven storytelling. Diverse female leads often overshadow any genuine flaws, and their actions tend to avoid significant consequence. It occasionally feels like narrative choices are made more for message than authenticity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Marriage, masculinity, and family are routinely portrayed as problematic or inadequate, with women depicted as the more mature or competent party. Traditional values are undercut or satirized, with little effort to balance perspectives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s a heavy focus on modern political and social themes, with dissenting or traditional voices sidelined or caricatured. Very little sincere debate or worldview diversity, everyone tends to share similar ideological assumptions.
