What We Think

If you're looking for a masterclass in 'woke' television, 'Twenties' certainly delivers. Identity themes dominate the story, and traditional values barely get a word in. For those tired of Hollywood’s ideological echo chamber, this one’s off the charts.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'Twenties' makes identity and sexuality the dominant lens for storylines. In our view, character development often takes a back seat to emphasizing themes of gender and race. Representation appears forceful, and the focus on the protagonist’s identity sometimes outweighs the merit-based progression within the narrative world.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently subverts traditional values, openly questioning norms around family and masculinity. Religion and conservative perspectives are often minimized. The narrative seems to celebrate modern identity constructs over time-tested institutions, which some viewers may interpret as a pointed undermining of cultural bedrocks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The worldview in 'Twenties' is quite uniform, alternative or traditional views are typically sidelined or used for contrast, often lacking nuance or sympathy. The environment is one where progressive ideals are rarely challenged, making it hard to find any ideological diversity.
