Really? Maybe there's a little too much "Indians good, whites bad" in some of it. Too much wokeness in "1923" can affect the quality of the show.
I think the problem with Judge's argument is that fiction is "downstream" from non-fiction. Indeed, non-fiction can affect politics and the ideological sphere more than fiction can. So maybe think of "culture" in that more inclusive sense and not worry so much about whether there are conservative novels, conservative fictional films, and conservative fictional television shows. Maybe there will be if people's thinking alters. Maybe it won't matter, so long as people's thinking changes.
I didn’t particularly like the Indian story in 1923, but didn’t consider it woke. It was a strand of history. That Catholic boarding schools for Indian orphans who contracted with the US government abused some students is hardly controversial. It’s incontestable. Obviously it’s not the only truth of that history, but it’s certainly part of it.
And to your point, yes, of course, sometimes prevailing trends in non-fiction are upstream from fiction. Sometimes it’s the other way around as well. Certainly seems generally true that “politics” is downstream from “culture” though and conceptually, the writing of history and other forms of non-fiction fall into the “culture” bucket even if Judge focused on the fiction component of the bucket because that’s what he likes.
with regards to Sheridan, you might also watch Landman. At times, it spills over into being anti-woke. Billy Bob Thornton’s pro fossil fuels and anti-renewables (especially wind) rants are hilarious, artistic ....and pretty well spot on.
The woke left wouldn’t survive more than a single episode of Landman.
