Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'The Tower' heavily emphasizes identity, particularly with prominent female and minority leads, often making these traits central to their storylines. At points, ideology appears to outweigh organic character development. Some central characters come across as flawless or one-dimensional, which can strain believability and narrative depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series often depicts traditional institutions like the police and family structures through a critical lens, framing them as outdated or problematic. Masculinity is commonly shown in crisis, and traditional values are rarely depicted in a positive or nuanced manner.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Most characters share very similar modern perspectives on social issues, with dissenters portrayed as deeply flawed or villainous. There is little sincere debate or internal ideological diversity, and the few alternative viewpoints are sidelined or mocked.
