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

“29” checks nearly all the boxes for modern “wokeness,” putting identity front and center, often at the expense of story, and taking a predictably skeptical view of tradition. If you were hoping for nuanced debate or broad worldview representation, you won’t find it here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

From available descriptions, “29” appears to center on identity dynamics and modern social issues, at times placing these elements above plot or organic character growth. Character traits like sexuality and gender seem to drive major story points, rather than emerging naturally.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently touches on themes of sexuality, non-traditional relationships, and modern morality, rarely celebrating traditional values or family structures, and often treating them as passé or problematic.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

“29” tends to depict alternative or traditional viewpoints as misguided or limiting, while its protagonists all seem to conform to contemporary social and moral standards, leaving genuine diversity of perspective in short supply.
