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 Fall Guy is about as non-woke as it gets: focused on action, stunts, and old-school heroism without a whiff of identity politics or agenda-driven storytelling, a welcome throwback to simpler times.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Fall Guy focuses on action and classic stunt work, with characters determined by their roles and skills rather than identity factors. There's little evidence of forced representation or narrative being hijacked for ideological messaging. Old-school storytelling comes first.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity and heroism are front and center. The show celebrates hard work, loyalty, and friendship, and reinforces standard gender roles without mockery. American cultural values of the era are fully intact.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no evidence of villainizing traditional perspectives or pushing one modern worldview. Conflicts are about good guys versus bad guys, not ideological clashes. The storytelling isn't used to exclude or mock non-progressive opinions.
