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 Family' embodies a very high level of woke storytelling, regularly undermining longstanding traditions and faith, while pushing a one-sided narrative that leaves little room for authentic debate or alternative viewpoints.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show appears to prioritize an ideological narrative over a balanced exploration. It often frames individuals and groups through the lens of modern identity politics, leaning more into exposé-style drama than nuanced character studies. This may detract from a more objective or complex portrayal.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'The Family' spends considerable effort casting traditional religious organizations, particularly Christian networks, in a highly critical and even sinister light. Faith, traditional morality, and family are often painted as regressive or manipulative rather than as sincere cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There is little effort to sincerely represent or humanize alternative perspectives. Traditional worldviews are largely villainized, while dissent is frequently depicted as inherently suspect or dangerous, suggesting minimal openness to genuine pluralism.
