What We Think

Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga leans into themes of class conflict and systemic critique, but doesn’t fully go off the deep end into woke territory. Still, its narrow perspective and focus on social narratives ratchet up the woke factor.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The documentary frames the GameStop saga as an underdog story of the masses versus elites, emphasizing identity politics and wealth disparity. While it tells an engaging story, some viewers may feel that ideological themes sometimes overshadow a more nuanced economic analysis.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There’s some critique of traditional financial institutions and, by extension, the established social order, but it mostly sticks to systemic critique without dwelling on morality, family, or faith. The show avoids overt attacks on traditional values, making its approach more restrained than certain other Netflix offerings.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The series rarely provides another perspective beyond the 'little guy versus Wall Street bad guys' narrative. Traditional investors and institutions are presented unsympathetically, and there’s little room for dissenting or complex viewpoints.
