Kulturna i politička polarizacija Sjedinjenih Američkih Država istaknuta je tema kako u društvenim naukama, tako i u medijima od početka 1990-ih godina. Bilo da se polarizacija razumeva kao duboka moralna podvojenost među Amerikancima, tj. kao kulturni rat između liberala i konzervativaca, ili kao veštački održavano političko neprijateljstvo, tj. kao stranačko sortiranje na Demokrate i Republikance, većina autora se slaže da je sfera medija duboko podeljena, posebno od 2016. kada je Donald Tramp postao istaknuta politička figura, te predsednik SAD. HBO televizijska mreža, poznata po svom progresivnom kapitalu i liberalnom etosu, izdvaja se svojim smelim dramskim produkcijama koje se često hvataju u koštac s polarizujućim temama rase, roda, seksualnosti, itd. Jedan od njenih često korišćenih narativnih stilova ili žanrova je i gotički. Američka gotika, takođe predmet pojačanog akademskog interesovanja poslednjih decenija, mahom se analizira u okviru svog kulturnog i istorijskog konteksta i tumači kao prostor u kome istorijski mračni i regresivni duhovi nacije uznemiravaju i uzdrmavaju zvanični prosvećeni narativ. Kao originalna HBO produkcija gotičkog stila, mini-serija Oštri predmeti (2018) biće kontekstualizovana unutar američkih kulturnih ratova i analizirana kao južnjačka gotička priča ispripovedana iz liberalno-progresivne perspektive. Narativ serije tumačiće se kao jedan gotički put duboko na Jug koji preduzima liberalna junakinja, pohođena svojim konzervativnim duhovima u pokušaju da se s njima suoči i da ih opozove. Rad istražuje tezu da je gotički remetilački potencijal uslovnog i ograničenog dejstva na liberalni američki prosvetiteljski narativ.
