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

This is a refreshingly non-woke show: it stays true to classic Western sensibilities and avoids the heavy-handed identity politics so common elsewhere. 'That Dirty Black Bag' gives fans grit and tension, not messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'That Dirty Black Bag' keeps its focus on character grit, Western themes, and survival. Casting and character arcs feel authentic to the genre and period instead of shoehorning modern identity concerns. There's little evidence of narrative integrity being sacrificed for agenda points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely respects traditional Western tropes, gritty masculinity, complex morality, and frontier justice, without undermining classic gender roles or revising the setting's cultural backdrop. No obvious subversion or hollowing out of foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of morality and survival are explored with room for ambiguity, and there’s no glaring monoculture or mocking of traditional views. Different characters hold different worldviews, fitting for the harsh Old West.
