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

Thunder in Paradise is a prime example of non-woke, nostalgia-loaded television. It favors action over ideology, celebrates macho heroics, and doesn’t waste time offering social lectures. It’s as subtle as a jet ski to the face, and that’s part of the charm.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Thunder in Paradise sticks to straightforward, action-packed storytelling. Character traits are defined by classic action tropes rather than identity. There's little evidence that roles were cast for ideological reasons. The plot priorities are pure 90s heroics, not social commentary.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show embraces traditional values: strong masculinity, family, and friendship, with Hulk Hogan leading as a classic hero. Religion, family, and traditional gender roles are present, mostly respected, and certainly not ridiculed. Any attempts at subversion are virtually nonexistent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t a focus, but that's due to the action-adventure formula, not any significant monocultural messaging. The show doesn’t actively mock or villainize traditional views; rather, it celebrates them with gusto.
