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

"Absolute Beginners" dives headfirst into current identity-driven trends, with little care for narrative or cultural heritage. It’s a showcase of woke storytelling, with very little ideological diversity and a clear preference for message over story. Not exactly subtle.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Absolute Beginners" emphasizes identity and sexuality over deeper character development or organic storytelling. Flawless diverse characters frequently take center stage, sometimes pushing natural plot progression into the background. Themes of acceptance and coming-of-age often overshadow personal growth or skill.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series appears to treat traditional family structures, religion, and masculinity as outdated or obstacles for the young leads. Parental figures and conventional values are frequently sidelined, while characters exploring newer lifestyles are depicted as preferable or superior without much balance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There's very little room for dissenting or more traditional perspectives, every character seems to be on board with progressive values. Alternative viewpoints, if present, are usually one-dimensional or outright antagonistic, making the show an echo chamber of modern ideology.
