My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman2018

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

Letterman’s Netflix return trades in his sharpest edge for comfortable, sometimes preachy conversations that rarely challenge the modern woke consensus. Worthy as entertainment, but hardly a haven for non-woke or genuinely pluralistic dialogue.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While this is an interview series rather than scripted drama, the guest selections and topics often highlight identity and social justice issues over simple human stories. The show doesn’t force character arcs, but it gives ample focus to current ideological themes instead of organic conversation or old-school Letterman snark.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series frequently features conversations that, in our view, lean into modern critiques of tradition, masculinity, and mainstream religiosity. Family and faith are generally discussed through a progressive lens, with Letterman seldom pushing back on prevailing modern narratives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative or non-woke perspectives are scarce here. Most guests echo similar mainstream viewpoints, and dissenting opinions are rarely given depth or positive framing. The show tends to gently nudge the narrative back toward the prevailing moral consensus of today’s media classes.
