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 Split goes all-in on modern gender and identity themes, giving us plenty of 'strong female lead' moments, sometimes at the cost of balanced storytelling. Traditional values get the short end of the stick, leaving little room for the old-school perspective. Woke score: high.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Split centers on a female-led cast navigating career and family life in high-powered divorce law. The show emphasizes gender and empowerment themes, sometimes prioritizing these over nuanced, organic character arcs. Romance and career take precedence, occasionally sidelining realism, but the writing generally maintains some complexity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures and masculinity are often portrayed as sources of conflict or obstacles, while the female protagonists are depicted as moral centers or voices of reason. The show leans into modern perspectives on marriage and gender roles, often at the expense of traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

While some disagreement exists among characters, the overarching worldview is firmly progressive. Traditional or dissenting perspectives tend to be either sidelined or depicted as problematic, without much sincere balance or depth given to non-woke viewpoints.
