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

Homefront offers a refreshingly grounded look at post-war America. While it acknowledges social change, it keeps the focus on authentic characters and period conflicts, not modern identity politics. A mostly non-woke throwback by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Homefront, set in post-WWII Ohio, is character-driven and period-accurate. While it covers topics like race and gender, it generally prioritizes character arcs and story over modern political messaging. Most representation aligns with the historical backdrop, so identities aren't forced in at the expense of the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show explores traditional values, family, work, religion, patriotism, often sympathetically. While it discusses the changing roles of women and minorities, it does so in a manner true to the era's struggles rather than mocking or dismissing cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially those you'd expect in late-1940s America, are represented. Conflict comes from real societal tensions, not just a single ideology. The show avoids painting all non-modern viewpoints as villainous, giving pluralism a chance.
