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

La Brea is a case of moderate wokeness: diverse casting and social attitudes are present, but storytelling and sci-fi genre conventions still get their due. Not as overbearing as some contemporary entries, but the woke fingerprints are hard to miss.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

La Brea largely follows its sci-fi adventure premise, but it does edge in the direction of modern casting trends, characters reflect identity-focused diversity, and there's the sense some were chosen for optics over the best narrative fit. Still, it's not as egregious as some shows; skill and story take precedence much of the time.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series occasionally subverts traditional gender roles, elevates female characters as hyper-competent, and avoids strong portrayals of masculinity or family cohesion. Religious and historical touchstones are mostly backgrounded or filtered through a modern lens, but it stops short of outright denigrating them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

La Brea tends to present the modern viewpoint as a baseline; traditional dissent is mostly absent or gently sidelined. While not overtly hostile to alternative views, it rarely allows them meaningful space, settling comfortably into ideological uniformity overall.
