What We Think

Virtually unwoke by today's standards, this documentary series is a straightforward chronicle of Hollywood's history, focused on artistry rather than identity. A rare non-woke oasis amidst a sea of modern revisionism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series focuses on the history of Hollywood filmmaking, highlighting craft, innovation, and personalities with little emphasis on contemporary identity politics. Casting and topics prioritized merit and historical relevance over modern diversity mandates.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show treats classic themes, family, religion, traditional gender roles, and morality, as integral to the Hollywood story. There is no sense that these values are mocked or subverted; instead, they are contextualized within their era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the series is anchored in a Western, early 20th-century worldview, it does not aggressively villainize alternative perspectives. It explores tensions and debates within the industry rather than imposing any modern ideological filter.
