The Midnight Gospel2020

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 Midnight Gospel is trippy, philosophical, and leans heavily into modern, progressive values with little regard for traditional narratives or cultural touchstones. It’s not aggressively woke, but it floats comfortably in those circles.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Midnight Gospel is more interested in philosophical conversations than traditional narrative or character arcs. While representation is present, it doesn’t overly emphasize identity at the expense of storytelling, but the experiment often overtakes structure, leading to a lack of narrative cohesion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Religion and traditional morality are often questioned or presented in esoteric, irreverent ways. Family themes are largely absent, and masculine archetypes play little role; instead, the show embraces psychedelic, non-traditional values that can feel disconnected from cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show is open-minded, but it rarely gives dissenting or traditional perspectives much credence. Alternative worldviews are presented, but typically filtered through a progressive, countercultural lens with little sincere debate, though it avoids straight-up villainizing alternatives.
