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

"Small Town, Big Story" exemplifies the modern 'woke' playbook: prioritizing representation boxes over narrative depth and treating tradition as the butt of the joke. Diverse characters abound, but usually at the expense of old-fashioned storytelling or genuine ideological balance.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Small Town, Big Story" leans heavily into representational checkboxes, often introducing characters based on identity rather than genuine narrative fit. Diversity appears prioritized over organic character development, and personality can take a back seat to modern ideological talking points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Tradition and established cultural norms are consistently portrayed as out of step, if not outright comical or problematic. Masculinity is softened and traditional family dynamics are presented as naive, while progressive values are depicted as inherently enlightened without much question.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series rarely lets an episode go by without treating dissent or traditional views as sources of either ridicule or villainy. Diverse perspectives are given surface-level treatment, but opposing ideologies are seldom represented with nuance or sympathy.
