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

'Now and Then' lands squarely on the high side of the woke spectrum. It checks most of Hollywood’s required boxes, favoring ideology and identity over organic character development and traditional values. If you’re looking for a non-woke binge, this one probably won’t fit the bill.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show prominently features diverse characters whose backgrounds and identities seem foregrounded in service of the plot, sometimes outweighing organic storytelling and character development. At times, representation choices feel a bit checkbox-driven rather than earned, which may disrupt narrative cohesion for those paying attention.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'Now and Then' frequently challenges traditional views on family, morality, and gender. Masculine traits are often brushed aside or presented as problematic, while non-traditional lifestyles and values are framed as inherently superior. The narrative occasionally leans into revisionist territory regarding cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative, more traditional worldviews are mostly sidelined or caricatured. Little to no space is given for sincere representation of dissenting perspectives, leaving the story with a pretty uniform ideological outlook. Nuanced debate or internal conflict around values is minimal.
