What We Think

Striking Out is refreshingly restrained in its approach, favoring compelling drama over ideological preaching. It’s a rare example these days of a largely non-woke show that lets character and story take lead over agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While some contemporary social issues are present, the show generally avoids heavy-handed messaging or villainizing traditional views. There is diversity of opinion among the characters, offering a spectrum of perspectives on moral and personal dilemmas.
