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 Last Word' serves up its fair share of modern ideological themes, sometimes at the expense of tradition, realism, and a balanced perspective. It’s not the woke-est thing out there, but it definitely leans in that direction.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show often places diverse identity themes at the forefront and occasionally gives its lead a bit of a flawless, hyper-competent edge. This can sometimes distract from deeper character growth or complexity, making the narrative feel a bit shaped by current ideological trends rather than organic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures and concepts of grief are presented with a modern, subversive twist. Masculinity and religion slip into the background or are gently mocked, while non-traditional values are prioritized, shifting the cultural focus toward a more 'progressive' lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There's a clear absence of alternative or more traditional perspectives. Most characters seem to share the same worldview and there’s little honest debate or representation of dissenting opinions, which adds to the ideological echo chamber feel.
