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 Hollowmen is about as non-woke as modern political satire gets—its main concern is lampooning process and bureaucracy, not pushing an ideological agenda. Traditional values, diverse perspectives, and merit-based narratives remain largely intact.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Hollowmen focuses on the inner workings of political advisors without prioritizing any specific identity politics or offering forced diversity. Its satire targets bureaucracy and political spin, not representation. Characterization and plot aren't sacrificed for modern ideological messaging, so it scores very low on the 'woke' scale here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show pokes fun at the government and policy-making, it doesn't undermine traditional cultural foundations or target family, religion, or masculinity. It mainly critiques technocracy and bureaucracy, so trad values are largely left untouched.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The satire is directed broadly at political processes, not at traditional values or dissenting voices. There's little overt ideological messaging, but as a tongue-in-cheek insider look, it occasionally mocks aspects of political correctness or modern politics. It’s not monocultural, but also doesn’t offer full political diversity.
