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

Silicon Valley is a rare, mostly non-woke gem for its era, more focused on lampooning tech absurdities than pushing ideology. It primarily emphasizes humor, business antics, and character skill over identity-driven messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on the struggles of quirky male tech entrepreneurs, putting character skills and story front and center. Casting choices and character arcs appear driven by narrative, not identity quotas. It feels refreshingly old-school compared to current trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Masculinity is neither mocked nor pathologized; the main cast is mainly male, and traditional work/family dynamics aren't subverted for ideological points. Satire targets all modern excess, but not specifically religion, family, or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While tech culture lampooning is ever-present, the show presents a variety of perspectives and side characters, including eccentric capitalists and alternative thinkers. Dissenters aren’t all caricatures, and ideological grandstanding is rare.
