House of Promises2022

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

"House of Promises" sprinkles in modern ideological themes, but isn’t a full-on lecture. It bends toward the fashionable side of things without entirely sacrificing narrative depth, tradition, or nuance. So, it’s woke, just not blindingly so.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While "House of Promises" incorporates some diverse characters and themes, they generally fit the historical context and don't appear to override the central narrative or character development. The show makes room for personal growth and flaws, but there are occasional moments where identity takes subtle precedence over story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There are instances where traditional gender roles and social hierarchies are questioned or subverted, reflecting modern values rather than strict period accuracy. However, these elements aren’t as aggressively foregrounded as in more overtly woke productions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Some critical or conservative perspectives are largely absent, and the show leans toward progressive interpretations of history. Nevertheless, it doesn’t fully caricature dissenting views, internal conflict and moral ambiguity are still present.
