What We Think

'Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath' avoids heavy-handed woke tropes, focusing instead on exposing the claims around Scientology. While it’s a bit one-sided, it doesn't pander to the usual Hollywood identity politics, making it mostly non-woke except for its narrow focus.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is a straightforward exposé on the controversial practices of the Church of Scientology. Its focus is on storytelling, personal testimony, and investigative journalism rather than ideological box-ticking or forced representation. There’s little evidence of narrative being sacrificed for identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show strongly critiques Scientology, a non-traditional belief system, it does not broadly target traditional family, religion, or masculinity. Still, it does take aim at religious power structures, which could be seen as undermining some cultural foundations for certain viewers.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The series maintains a strongly anti-Scientology perspective throughout, offering minimal sincere screen time to defenders of the Church or alternative viewpoints. The result is a pretty one-sided take, but one based in investigative aims rather than the usual woke social issues.
