The Beautiful Life: TBL2009

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

The Beautiful Life: TBL predates the current wave of Hollywood wokeness. It’s a flash-in-the-pan soap with little in the way of heavy-handed messaging, social engineering, or agenda-driven storytelling. In short, not much woke to see here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This 2009 CW show leans heavily into the melodrama and clichés of the fashion world, focusing on personal struggles and industry drama. Its casting and character arcs don’t appear driven by woke identity politics. The main characters are built around typical soap tropes rather than ideological checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values aren’t really on the agenda here, think more love triangles and career angst than cultural subversion. Masculinity, femininity, family, and religion are treated as standard background elements, if addressed at all. Nothing here wants to rewrite Western civilization.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Aside from the portrayal of the fashion scene’s usual vapid stereotypes, there’s little in the way of agenda-pushing. The show avoids demonizing traditional perspectives or enforcing ideological narratives. It’s more interested in drama than doctrines.
