What We Think

"How to Get Away with Murder" leans heavily into modern progressive tropes, showcasing diverse identities but often sacrificing narrative nuance and traditional values. It’s a masterclass in entertainment engineered to please a 'woke' audience, but traditional viewers may find it lacking in genuine moral or ideological diversity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show often emphasizes characters' race, sexuality, and gender over organic character development. Many plotlines prioritize social issues and intersectionality, sometimes at the expense of realism or believable motivations. The ensemble seems crafted to check diversity boxes, and some story arcs feel contrived to spotlight these elements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values surrounding family, religion, and morality are largely sidelined or depicted as sources of conflict. Masculinity is often portrayed through flawed, sometimes negative examples, while diverse or non-traditional identities are positioned as more virtuous or progressive.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The ideological spectrum in the show is narrow; traditional and dissenting views are rarely given thoughtful screen time. Opposition to the dominant progressive worldview is mostly shown through one-dimensional antagonists, sometimes even outright bigots.
