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 Genius of Charles Darwin could be seen as a prime example of ideological uniformity and anti-traditionalism in factual television. While it champions scientific reasoning, it does so by often dismissing or undermining cultural and religious diversity of thought.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show places heavy emphasis on the virtues of Darwinian evolution, often focusing more on ideological dismissal of alternative viewpoints than on balanced scientific debate. It foregrounds the host's personal crusade against religious perspectives rather than a neutral exploration of science.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

It strongly undermines traditional religious beliefs, frequently portraying faith and established cultural views on creation as outdated or anti-intellectual. The program frames religion as a force to be overcome rather than a facet of cultural history deserving respect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, especially those rooted in faith or skepticism of Darwinism, are mostly represented as naive, irrational, or dangerous. There’s little room given to nuanced debate or pluralism; the show's perspective is firmly one-sided.
