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

"Lights Out" is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It’s an old-school drama about boxing and family, not identity politics. No lectures, just solid storytelling and tough characters.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Lights Out" focuses primarily on character-driven storytelling and classic themes of family, redemption, and struggle. Identity factors like race and gender do not overshadow the personal and professional challenges faced by the lead character, a male boxer nearing the end of his career.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series embraces traditional masculine traits, explores family responsibilities, and does not subvert gender roles. If anything, it leans heavily into classic values like honor, grit, and loyalty, with no revisionist takes on religion or tradition detectable.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture. Diverse viewpoints are present among the colorful cast, and no single worldview is promoted or villainized. Sincere representations of struggle and conflicting perspectives are part of the drama.
