October Faction2020

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

October Faction is a high-grade example of contemporary television where the narrative frequently bows to modern ideological priorities. Representations feel forced, traditional values are left in the dust, and all roads lead to an echo chamber. Woke score: Considerable.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

October Faction appears to lean heavily on diversity boxes over organic character development. Multiple identity factors, like sexuality and race, get more screen time than actual personalities or believable arcs. Storylines often pause for identity discussions that seem jammed in rather than naturally woven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, masculinity, and even small-town culture are frequently depicted as narrow-minded, outdated, or sinister. The show goes out of its way to contrast these foundations with more 'progressive' attitudes, and faith is basically absent or ridiculed.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are mostly represented by caricatured bigots or ignorant small-town types. There’s minimal ideological diversity, and the show expects everyone to come around to one worldview, with little debate or nuance allowed.
