Hijack2023

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

Hijack isn’t a full-blown woke-fest, but it’s definitely playing in that sandbox. Narrative and themes are sometimes bent to fit modern tastes, with an occasional lecture or on-the-nose casting. Not egregious, but hard to call truly non-woke, either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show largely keeps the narrative focused on the suspense and action of the hijacking, but there are clear instances of identity-based casting and moral signaling. While not entirely off-the-rails, certain character backgrounds and choices sometimes feel more in service of ticking diversity boxes than serving the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Masculinity and traditional authority get a few knocks, and there’s an undercurrent of skepticism toward institutional response. Still, it doesn’t completely undermine the importance of family or responsibility; those themes persist, just diluted by the show’s need to be fashionable.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While there’s a token nod to alternative perspectives, the prevailing worldview is unmistakably modern-liberal, and traditional viewpoints are mostly sidelined or presented without much sympathy. It’s not a complete echo chamber, but it’s pretty cozy in there.
