What We Think

The Lizzie Borden Chronicles walks the line between edgy historical retelling and modern ideological spin, offering revisionist flair but occasionally sacrificing complexity for contemporary themes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show takes historical liberties and leans into a feminist reinterpretation of Lizzie Borden as a cunning antiheroine. While this might add flair, it can feel like narrative choices occasionally prioritize modern sensibilities over period authenticity or nuanced character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are subverted, with Lizzie portrayed as hyper-competent and ruthlessly independent. Family, morality, and religious authority are often depicted as hypocritical or corrupt, which may not align with more traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While not filled with overt ideological preaching, the show does clearly favor a revisionist, rebellious female perspective, with little space given to sympathetic or nuanced traditional viewpoints. Dissenting perspectives often end up either marginalized or villainized.
