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

Astronomy Club: The Sketch Show is very much a showcase of modern, woke comedy, prioritizing identity politics and social commentary over classic comedic craft. Traditional perspectives are sent up or dismissed, and the ideological leanings are as uniform as they come. Not much here for viewers seeking a non-woke laugh.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently foregrounds identity-based humor and social justice topics, often putting commentary ahead of traditional character-driven comedy. While there are clever sketches, many seem built to highlight representation or make a statement, sometimes at the expense of narrative flow or surprise.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The sketches routinely poke fun at traditional culture, masculinity, and family structures, and rarely miss an opportunity to critique established norms. Classic values are regularly upended or lampooned, reinforcing modern ideological trends over time-tested traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show’s viewpoint is almost entirely one-sided; dissenting or moderate perspectives are played for laughs or not represented earnestly. Alternative worldviews get little to no real consideration, serving mostly as the butt of jokes or strawmen.
