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

'Wilderness' checks all the usual modern boxes, heavily emphasizing identity, reimagining traditional roles, and leaving little narrative room for alternative worldviews. One for the woke bingo card, if you ask us.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Wilderness' leans into identity-driven storytelling, often prioritizing the lead character's gender and backstory over nuanced personal growth or believable relationship dynamics. The focus on empowerment messaging periodically overshadows plot coherence, giving certain characters plot armor and one-dimensional motives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show approaches topics like marriage, fidelity, and traditional gender roles with a skeptical, sometimes mocking tone. Masculine traits are frequently depicted as sources of toxicity, while female empowerment is foregrounded as the moral high ground, which could be seen as undermining classic cultural pillars.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional views on family and gender are mostly presented as outdated or villainous, with little room for sincere debate. Alternative viewpoints crop up only as foils, rarely as beliefs held by sympathetic characters, suggesting a strong ideological echo chamber.
