What We Think

This 2024 'Good Times' reboot should really be called 'Woke Times.' With narrative sacrificed for messaging, constant undercutting of traditional values, and humor that punches in only one direction, it’s a prime example of contemporary Hollywood’s ideological tunnel vision.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The 2024 reboot of 'Good Times' seems eager to showcase all the fashionable identity topics, often at the expense of character depth or storyline consistency. There’s a tendency to foreground identity over personality, with representation choices feeling very on-the-nose and sometimes forced rather than organic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Religion and traditional family dynamics are largely played for laughs or sidestepped, masculinity is mostly depicted through comic blunders, and long-standing cultural values are tossed out to make room for modern ideologies. The show seems more interested in critiquing foundations than celebrating them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are usually portrayed satirically or as out-of-touch. The ideological spectrum represented is impressively narrow, with everyone seemingly required to salute the current year’s social trends. Dissenting opinions are near nonexistent, and when present, are the butt of a joke.
