What We Think

Power Book II: Ghost pushes modern identity themes hard, often at the expense of organic storytelling. If you’re looking for a grounded, non-woke crime drama, this isn’t it, expect a heavy dose of ideological messaging embedded in the plot and characters.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show leans heavily on contemporary identity factors, making sure nearly every character fits a certain modern template. It often feels like character background is prioritized over organic development, leading to some storylines that seem crafted more for messaging than for narrative cohesion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional roles of family, masculinity, and morality are regularly challenged or portrayed as problematic. The focus on subverting expectations regarding these foundations is apparent and at times seems to overshadow more nuanced depictions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially those that would be seen as more traditional, are typically associated with antagonists or are dismissed outright. There's a clear consensus on modern social themes without meaningful dissent or debate shown among main characters.
