The Path2016

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 Path" demonstrates some classic modern television tendencies, critiquing faith and dabbling in alternative ideology, but it doesn’t go full-throttle woke. Identity politics take a backseat to cult drama. Not the worst offender, but hardly immune to the usual trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show focuses more on cult dynamics and psychological tension than overt identity politics. While it explores social issues, character traits aren't defined solely by modern identity markers, and any forced representation is quite restrained.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Religion, specifically new religious movements and traditional faith, are often critiqued or portrayed with skepticism. The show leans into questioning faith and authority, sometimes undermining family stability and masculine roles, but it doesn’t turn into a total takedown of tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show certainly gives more airtime to alternative spirituality and progressive worldviews, with traditional perspectives often presented as either naïve or problematic. However, there's some attempt at nuance, avoiding absolute caricature.
