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

Death Valley is mostly a comedic horror romp that sticks to spoofing cop and monster show clichés. It doesn’t go out of its way to shoehorn in ideological messages, making it a refreshingly non-woke watch in today’s sea of heavy-handedness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Death Valley’s satire leans into genre conventions, focusing more on humor and horror than identity-centric storytelling. Characters generally fit familiar archetypes without forced representation or unrealistic competence as a result of diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at police and media tropes, but doesn’t make heavy-handed statements about family, masculinity, or religion. Any subversion is mainly comedic, keeping cultural mockery at bay.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While you'll find some jabs at law enforcement, there’s no overt villainization of traditional viewpoints, nor is every character on the same ideological page. Satire is the priority, not a singular political message.
