The End of the F***ing World2017

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 End of the F***ing World is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards, focusing on characterization over ideology. There's little evidence of narrative sacrifice for messaging, obvious identity box-checking, or heavy-handed progressive preaching. It keeps its edge without caving to current Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series centers on two troubled teens with complex personalities. Identity factors like race or gender aren't forced to the forefront, and representation serves the story rather than overshadowing it. The show remains character-driven and doesn't prioritize ideology over narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show does feature dysfunctional families and unconventional views on growing up, it doesn't actively mock or undermine traditional values. Male and female leads are both flawed and realistic, steering clear of heavy-handed subversions of gender roles or overt cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dissenting worldviews aren't villainized. The show avoids monolithic modern ideological messaging, instead focusing on the messy, often amoral complexity of youth without lecturing the audience or demonizing traditional perspectives.
