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

Godless takes traditional Western conventions and gives them a modern, feminist spin. While competently made and engaging, it nudges the core themes toward “woke,” with female empowerment occasionally trumping narrative subtlety. Still, it isn’t a pure ideological sledgehammer, just pronounced in its progressive lens.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Godless features a town run almost entirely by women after a mining accident, flipping traditional Western tropes. While the storyline remains engaging, some viewers might feel the focus on female empowerment is layered on a bit thick, occasionally sidelining natural character development in favor of thematic statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show subverts classic masculinity by portraying women as the primary defenders and leaders of the town. Masculine and family roles are re-imagined but not wholly mocked, so while it pushes boundaries, it stops short of outright contempt for tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Although Godless centers on strong women and critiques certain old-school Western values, it doesn't completely vilify every masculine or traditional character. Some variety in perspective remains, but dissenting worldviews play a quieter role compared to the main ideological slant.
