Sex, Death and the Meaning of Life2012

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

The show takes aim at religion and tradition from a decidedly modern, secular angle, emphasizing individual autonomy and skepticism. While thought-provoking, it often sacrifices narrative and balance for the sake of its message. Not peak woke, but it’s definitely in the club.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show, hosted by Richard Dawkins, leans heavily into ideological storytelling, often using narrative structure to explore themes of secularism and challenge traditional beliefs. While it's educational, identity and belief are prioritized over a more neutral exploration, which can feel heavy-handed.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

This series is quite explicit in its critique of religion and traditional views on morality, death, and meaning. It often portrays these cultural foundations as outdated or irrelevant, forgoing a balanced perspective on their social and historical value.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, especially religious or traditionally moral perspectives, are generally treated as obstacles to be dismissed rather than as worthwhile positions. Genuine intellectual pluralism is in short supply here.
