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

‘Bonkis’ exemplifies the uber-woke checklist: identity-first casting, heavy-handed messaging, and a single approved worldview. If you’re looking for traditional storytelling or genuine diversity of thought, this is probably not your show.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Bonkis' seems to prioritize representing every possible identity over creating memorable, nuanced characters. Many character arcs revolve around labels instead of authentic development or skill, which can make the show feel less about storytelling and more about ticking diversity checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show often portrays traditional family dynamics and masculinity as outdated, with parental figures being mocked and classic values consistently challenged or undermined. This approach could be seen as prioritizing modern sensibilities over any sincere appreciation for cultural roots.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s an overwhelming sense that only one value system is acceptable in the ‘Bonkis’ universe. Traditional viewpoints are typically absent or shown as obstacles to progress, without any characters offering a genuine alternative perspective without being lampooned.
