Fortune Seller: A TV Scam2022

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

‘Fortune Seller: A TV Scam’ avoids modern woke clichés, sticking closely to the true-crime format. Its focus is the colorful protagonist and her schemes, not ideological points. A rare, refreshingly non-woke Netflix entry.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series primarily focuses on the biography of a controversial Italian TV sales host, centering on the scam narrative rather than on identity politics or forced representation. There’s little evidence that diversity boxes or ideology override the actual story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Fortune Seller’ examines the impact of a fraudster on Italian television culture but does not aggressively target family, religion, or traditional masculinity. It mostly stays within the bounds of true crime, without pushing overtly ideological reinterpretations of cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show does not appear to villainize traditional perspectives or present a one-note ideological worldview. Its focus remains on the sensational crime, with few nods to modern woke orthodoxy. It lacks the usual lectures or moralizing found in highly ‘woke’ offerings.
