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

Compared to today's ultra-woke Hollywood slate, 'The Buried Life' is refreshingly non-woke. It’s just some guys on a journey, chasing dreams and spreading positivity, without ticking ideological checkboxes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Buried Life' focuses on four friends tackling a bucket list and helping others. There’s minimal emphasis on identity politics or forced representation. The narrative is much more about individual dreams, self-discovery, and authentic connection.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t take aim at family, faith, or traditional values. It’s mostly a celebration of friendship, ambition, and positive risk-taking rather than any particular ideology. Nothing to suggest deliberate undermining of cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked; the show is inclusive in a very general, early-2010s way, less about ideology and more about personal growth. No heavy-handed messaging or villainization of traditional perspectives.
