A Round of Applause2024

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

A Round of Applause doubles down on identity-driven storytelling and modern ideological themes. Expect lots of representation, but little room for classic narratives or cultural nuance. If you’re looking for a non-woke alternative, this isn’t the show.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'A Round of Applause' seems to prioritize identity themes quite heavily, with character backgrounds and check-the-box diversity apparently taking precedence over deep character development. Several characters appear to be present more for representing traits than serving the plot, which limits narrative tension and authentic drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show appears to portray traditional values, such as family structure and masculinity, as outdated or problematic. There’s significant subversion of gender roles and longstanding cultural expectations, perhaps to the detriment of balance and nuance in its portrayal of human relationships.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

It appears that the show offers little space to alternative viewpoints, with traditional or dissenting attitudes typically treated as punchlines or negative examples. There’s a strong sense of ideological uniformity, without meaningful debate or nuance among the main cast.
