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 non-woke breath of fresh air! 'The Pioneer' keeps its wokeness level to a minimum, focusing on a colorful personality and real events, rather than pandering to modern ideological trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what’s available, 'The Pioneer' is a documentary centered on Jesús Gil, a real-life Spanish tycoon and football executive. Identity politics seem refreshingly absent; the focus is on the subject’s controversial life rather than box-checking diverse casting or shoehorning ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show appears to explore Spanish cultural and historical themes without mocking tradition or rewriting history to fit modern sensibilities. Gil’s flaws are on display, but not in a way that undermines broader traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While it doesn’t go out of its way to highlight alternative perspectives, the show does allow for nuance, with Gil portrayed as both admired and criticized. There’s little sign of the modern ‘one worldview to rule them all’ approach.
