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

"Reverie" leans into current identity trends without going off the rails. While it checks some woke boxes, it avoids the most egregious pitfalls. Not aggressively non-woke, but not the wokest thing on TV, either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Reverie" gives significant prominence to identity themes, and the lead is a highly capable female protagonist. While some characters seem defined more by diverse backgrounds than developed personalities, the show does allow for some character depth and tension. Narrative integrity is only moderately impacted.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show does not aggressively undercut family, religion, or masculinity, but it tends to gloss over those themes. Traditional roles are present, yet generally, modern values dominate without much challenge or meaningful contrast.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While "Reverie" doesn't outright demonize non-woke perspectives, it rarely presents traditional viewpoints as credible or nuanced. Diverse worldviews are largely missing, and modern sensibilities guide most character arcs, offering little ideological conflict.
