What We Think

“Fires” delivers its message with a heavy hand, prioritizing ideological themes over narrative complexity or traditional values. If you're sensitive to “woke” storytelling hallmarks, this one's definitely burning hot on the scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

“Fires” strongly emphasizes climate change messaging, occasionally overshadowing character depth and complexity. Characters are often defined more by their symbolic roles and demographic checkboxes than by nuanced, individual personalities, making the drama feel more like an activist statement than organic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as family, rural identity, and faith are consistently challenged or reframed through a contemporary lens. Masculinity is generally either sidelined or depicted as flawed, while modern perspectives are presented as ideal and virtuous. This gives the show a clear cultural leaning.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series presents the climate change narrative as virtually undisputed, with alternate viewpoints either absent or subtly mocked. There's little pluralism in worldview, and dissent is portrayed as backward or harmful rather than rationally debated.
