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

A prime example of Hollywood’s obsession with modern identity trends, “The Manhattan Alien Abduction” puts wokeness above storytelling. Expect plenty of box-checking and little in the way of genuine, diverse perspectives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show leans heavily into identity-driven casting and character backstories, with race, gender, and sexuality taking center stage over genuine character development or plot. Some pivotal moments feel forced to highlight ideological talking points, at the expense of a cohesive or compelling narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values and roles are frequently lampooned or dismissed, religion becomes a punchline, and family is depicted as quaint or problematic. Masculinity is often shown as outdated, while alternative lifestyles are celebrated and rarely critiqued. There’s a clear sense of rewriting cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are either villainized or reduced to strawman caricatures. Every major character seems to share a very narrow set of modern ideological convictions, with almost no debate, dissent, or nuance allowed onscreen.
