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

"Walker" cranks up the modern ideology, swapping classic American themes for a checklist of progressive talking points. If you're looking for the iconic Texas Ranger spirit, prepare for a heaping dose of 2020s "woke" orthodoxy instead.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Walker" appears to prioritize diversity and representation at almost every turn, often at the expense of consistent storytelling. Characters' identities are highlighted in ways that can feel forced, and some character arcs seem driven by ideological points rather than organic development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show regularly challenges traditional values, family, faith, and masculinity, in favor of more progressive interpretations. Masculine characters are often portrayed as flawed or in need of correction, while old-fashioned viewpoints are depicted as problematic.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are present only as caricatured villains, bigots, or backwards holdovers. There is little genuine debate or complexity around moral or cultural issues; everyone basically marches to the same modern drumbeat.
