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

Der Clown is a blast from the pre-woke past, pure 90s action, minus the modern activism or quota checklists. If you’re looking for an unapologetically non-woke show, this one’s the real deal.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Der Clown sticks to straightforward action tropes. Characterization focuses on skills and personal backstories, not identity boxes. Casting and storylines put entertainment first without shoehorning in modern quotas or messaging. Diversity for diversity’s sake is simply not a thing here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional norms, masculinity, action hero bravado, and conventional morality, are front and center. The show doesn’t go out of its way to lampoon old-school values or family. Masculine energy is presented as capable and admirable rather than suspect or outdated. Very little cultural revisionism to be found.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s hardly any soapboxing or ideological preaching. Villains are generic baddies, not stand-ins for political debates. You certainly won’t catch this series turning dissenting voices into one-note caricatures. The worldview is old-school and pluralism isn’t front-of-mind, but it’s not pushing a modern ideological line either.
