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

Westworld’s dazzling production belies a deeply woke undercurrent: identity, modern morality, and cultural revisionism often steer the narrative. There’s little room for non-woke viewpoints, making it a prime example of ideology leading the creative charge.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, Westworld often prioritizes discussions around identity, agency, and social hierarchies over straightforward storytelling and character consistency. There are instances where casting and character arcs appear more motivated by modern identity narratives than by what’s natural for the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show tends to critique traditional concepts such as masculinity, free will, and faith, frequently depicting them as outdated or morally ambiguous. Family and religion are largely sidelined or problematized, and traditional roles are often subverted for commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints get scant sincere representation. Dissenters or traditionalists are usually framed as obstacles to progress, not well-rounded individuals. The dominant narrative leans heavily into a singular modern ideology, with little internal debate.
