What We Think

"Tales of the City" (2019) is a textbook example of modern television prioritizing woke narratives over story and diverse, organic viewpoints. The show makes little attempt to balance its ideological leaning, instead unapologetically preaching its worldview at every turn.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The 2019 "Tales of the City" leans heavily into identity-focused storytelling, pushing diversity to the forefront. Many characters are defined almost entirely by race, sexuality, or gender identity rather than unique personalities or arcs. Some storylines appear crafted to check boxes rather than serve organic character growth, making the narrative feel secondary to the messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently challenges traditional values, family dynamics, and introduction of historical revisionist elements to align with modern ideology. Masculinity is either marginalized or reimagined, while traditional family is almost completely sidelined in favor of found-family tropes centered on progressive ideals.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Virtually every perspective aligns with contemporary progressive norms; traditional or dissenting voices, when present, are depicted as out-of-touch, hostile, or simply obstacles to overcome. Alternate worldviews get little to no fair shake, reinforcing a single ideological lens throughout.
