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

"Monarch" checks many of today’s "woke" boxes: identity focus, subdued traditional values, and little space for genuine alternative viewpoints. While not the most extreme offender, it definitely marches in step with Hollywood’s ongoing ideological parade.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Monarch" places significant emphasis on diverse identity representation, sometimes at the expense of character depth and organic storytelling. The show's focus on modern issues like sexuality and racial identity often overshadows more nuanced plot and character arcs, which can feel shoehorned rather than naturally integrated.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes such as family legacy and country music heritage are present but are frequently reframed through a contemporary social lens. Masculinity and traditional gender roles often take a back seat, with some classic values subtly critiqued or subverted throughout the season.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear lean toward contemporary social ideals, with dissenting voices or traditional perspectives either minimized or portrayed in a negative light. Nuanced debate is rare, and most characters end up echoing similar modern moral assumptions without much ideological conflict.
