What We Think

‘Return to Paradise’ checks nearly every box on the modern woke checklist, prioritizing contemporary ideological fidelity over balanced storytelling or respect for classic values. If you’re looking for something boldly non-woke, you’ll want to skip this one.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Return to Paradise' puts a spotlight on diverse identities at the expense of organic storytelling. Characters seem largely defined by modern ideology first, and narrative depth second, with certain plotlines feeling present to tick boxes rather than serve the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There is a tendency to treat traditional family structures, religion, and masculinity as relics or even as problematic. The series elevates new norms while subtly dismissing established values, which could be seen as undermining cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show rarely presents alternative or non-modern perspectives with any sincerity. Dissent or traditionalism is either sidelined or caricatured, reinforcing a fairly uniform ideological stance among main characters.
