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

Zetman is a refreshing antidote to modern 'woke' overload, favoring gritty character arcs over ideological talking points. It’s more interested in the timeless, and sometimes brutal, struggles between good and evil than checking diversity boxes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Zetman puts gritty storytelling and complex characters first, not identity checklists. Protagonists earn their arcs and face consequences, with no focus on race, gender, or sexuality over merit. If anything, it's a throwback to classic hero tales without a whiff of box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show respects family bonds and classic moral struggles, while exploring themes of sacrifice, masculinity, and justice. Rather than mocking social foundations, it leans into them, expect deep brooding, flawed heroes, and loads of personal responsibility.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t just strawmen. Both 'heroes' and 'villains' have meaningful motivations, and the show doesn’t sermonize about the latest social trends. It’s much more interested in questions of good, evil, and personal choice than any modern ideological narrative.
