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 Apocalypse is a prime example of modern Hollywood wokeness: identity and ideology trump character and story, traditional values are subverted for laughs, and dissent is nowhere to be found. Not exactly subtle with its messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Now Apocalypse places identity and sexuality at the very forefront of the narrative, often at the expense of character depth or organic story development. Many character motivations and arcs revolve around ideological talking points rather than personal growth, which, in our view, weakens narrative integrity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show consistently undermines traditional values, seemingly portraying religion, family, and masculinity as outdated or sources of humor. Heteronormative relationships are portrayed as less valid or worthy of ridicule, aligning the show with a modern, progressive view over any balanced perspective.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting or traditional worldviews are largely absent or presented in an exaggerated, unsympathetic manner. There is a near-complete embrace of one ideological perspective throughout, with very little genuine debate or plurality.
