La Révolution2020

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 Révolution takes historical revisionism and ideological storytelling to new heights, sacrificing the grit of history for a thoroughly modern, and very woke, reimagining. It's a classic case of style over substance, with a side order of 2020 talking points.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

La Révolution appears to place identity and representation above narrative cohesion, often inserting modern concepts of diversity into 18th century France in ways that feel historically out of place. The prioritization of character background over authentic storytelling leads to forced representation and distracts from engaging character arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently subverts traditional gender roles and diminishes established cultural and religious values. Family, religion, and masculinity are either sidelined or presented as sources of oppression. This cultural revisionism comes at the expense of authentic historical flavor.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are largely absent or presented as villainous, while the main characters consistently parrot modern moral ideals. The narrative rarely allows for genuine ideological conflict, opting instead for a one-sided, progressive lens.
