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 Jetty' exemplifies the BBC’s unmistakable commitment to ‘woke’ storytelling: overt identity politics, rewriting of cultural norms, and a narrow range of permissible viewpoints. Those looking for a non-woke mystery should look elsewhere.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'The Jetty' leans heavily on contemporary identity and social justice themes. Identity factors like gender, race, and sexuality appear to be foregrounded over deeper character development or the authenticity of the story world, as is the current BBC trend. This tends to come at the expense of classic plot tension and realistic arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, particularly around family, religion, and masculinity, are largely absent or subtly depicted as problematic in favor of modern ideals. In our view, any hint of traditional structures is either sidelined or deconstructed for critique, pushing cultural revisionism front and center.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews and dissenting perspectives get minimal to no authentic exploration. The show appears to operate within a contemporary ideological bubble, leaving little room for diverse or more traditional voices, and alternative stances are either ridiculed or villainized.
