What We Think

'PULSE' embodies peak modern wokeness, with diversity and ideological messaging prioritized everywhere you look. Classic values and alternative perspectives are nowhere to be found, unless it's to poke fun at them. This one is as woke as they come.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'PULSE' places identity at the forefront, with character backstories and plot arcs often revolving around race, gender, or sexuality, sometimes at the expense of organic development. Several leads are cast seemingly to fulfill demographic boxes, and their core traits rarely move beyond surface-level identifiers.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, faith, and classic masculinity are either omitted or openly challenged in nearly every episode. The show reimagines historic institutions through modern ideological filters, giving little time for time-honored values or nuanced portrayals of tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Every character seems to echo the same pre-approved opinions, with skepticism toward the show's worldview relegated to straw-man villains or comic foils. Genuine debate or plurality of thought is almost nonexistent, creating an echo chamber effect.
