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

Valor leans into 'woke' territory with its cast and themes, though not as aggressively as more recent fare. Its portrayal of military life is filtered through a modern lens, pushing identity over gritty realism but not so much as to obliterate the underlying genre elements.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Valor" puts significant emphasis on its female lead in a special operations military role, which some would argue stretches credibility within its context. While not the most egregious offender, identity sometimes overshadows realism. Still, the show maintains some focus on skill and plot-driven elements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show depicts military culture and discipline, but it does somewhat undermine traditional masculine archetypes by centering on a highly competent female protagonist and showing men in supporting or flawed roles. Family, religion, and traditional values are largely sidelined or treated as complications.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is some diversity of opinion within the cast, but dissenting perspectives are often marginalized, and traditional viewpoints are sometimes presented as obstacles. Still, the show does not go as far as some with outright villainization of alternatives.
