Shining Vale2022

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

'Shining Vale' sits in the mid-range of the woke spectrum. It incorporates some modern ideological elements, but they don’t entirely overwhelm its horror-comedy premise or character dynamics. Still, don’t expect much sympathy for traditional worldviews here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

'Shining Vale' leans into modern family and feminist themes but generally maintains character-driven storytelling. While there’s an emphasis on female empowerment, identity rarely overshadows plot or character growth. Forced representation is present but not egregious.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show pokes at traditional family and gender roles, depicting the nuclear family as dysfunctional and making patriarchal figures the butt of many jokes. There’s a clear nod towards subverting conventional norms, though not to an extreme degree.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews (especially more traditional or religious ones) are generally absent or subtly mocked. Most characters seem to share prevailing modern attitudes, and dissenting perspectives rarely get sincere treatment.
