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

“Manner of Death” embraces progressive romantic themes and downplays traditional social roles, but maintains enough genre focus to avoid full-blown woke overload. Ultimately, it’s a modern story with clear progressive leanings, yet not the most extreme example out there.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The series does place significant emphasis on the sexuality of its lead characters, centering a same-sex romance at the core of the plot. While the central mystery is handled competently, character identity sometimes feels highlighted over deeper character development, though it doesn’t fully overshadow the thriller elements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity and family roles are somewhat challenged, though not aggressively undermined. The show leans into a modern, progressive depiction of relationships, but avoids outright hostility to culture or religion, offering more of a side-step than a full-on revision.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present but are generally not the focus, and the social attitudes leaned on are modern and relatively uniform. Traditional worldviews get little serious representation, and the narrative tends to affirm progressive social values.
