The Pact2021

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 Pact leans into modern identity themes and representation, occasionally prioritizing these over classic storytelling and depth. While not as extreme as some other recent works, it still checks quite a few 'woke' boxes for viewers looking for a more balanced approach.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Pact features a predominantly female main cast with varying backgrounds, and it appears this choice sometimes comes at the expense of deep character development. Some characters seem to be defined more by their identities than by compelling arcs or individual skills, fitting recent trends in TV casting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and moral foundations are present but often questioned or presented as problematic. Masculine figures are mostly in the background or shown as flawed, while the main female roles drive the narrative, sometimes idealized or shielded from real consequences.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show tends to focus on contemporary moral interpretations, and alternatives or dissenting viewpoints do not receive much serious exploration. Traditional perspectives are often, in our view, sidelined or portrayed in a less flattering light.
