Z: The Beginning of Everything2015

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

While not the wokest show out there, 'Z: The Beginning of Everything' undeniably brings a modern feminist lens to historical events. It’s more revisionist than radical, but traditionalists will spot the usual ideological fingerprints throughout.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show largely centers on Zelda Fitzgerald’s life, with a strong focus on female empowerment and agency. There’s some emphasis on gender identity over deeper exploration of character growth, though it doesn’t entirely sacrifice narrative for ideology. Representation aligns with modern sensibilities, but fits the subject matter reasonably well.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are challenged, with Zelda repeatedly pushing against early 20th-century norms. Themes of marriage, independence, and morality are reinterpreted with a distinctly modern tone. Religion isn’t prominent, but traditional values are certainly renovated throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, like those espousing more traditional roles or values, are present but treated more as obstacles for Zelda to overcome, rather than sincere viewpoints. Dialogue largely favors a progressive take, but not to a completely exclusionary level.
