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

Twin Peaks is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. Its storytelling stands on its own, with no big doses of forced diversity or ideological groupthink. If anything, it’s a quirky celebration of classic Americana, just with lots more cherry pie and supernatural weirdness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Twin Peaks doesn't sacrifice story for modern identity politics. Characters are quirky and complex, but casting and plot aren't driven by woke checklists. The show focuses on good storytelling with authentically eccentric personalities, not tokenism or diverse 'boxes' being ticked.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the series delights in the odd and surreal, it broadly respects traditional culture, including small-town values, family, and morality (albeit filtered through Lynchian weirdness). There’s no agenda-driven reworking of religion, gender, or American tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Though the show satirizes some Americana, it doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives or shove one worldview down the audience’s throat. There’s pluralism in the characters, storylines, and outlooks, no ideological echo chamber here.
