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

Cake seems determined to serve up a slice of contemporary wokeness with every episode. With narrative structure bent to identity and irreverence, and a lack of sincere alternative views, it’s a poster child for Hollywood’s current ideological leanings.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Many segments in 'Cake' appear to prioritize quirky identity-driven narratives and unconventional casting over traditional story structure or realism. The emphasis on diverse, offbeat characters seems to be more about ticking identity boxes than character depth at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently subverts or lampoons traditional values, poking fun at masculinity, relationships, and even family structures. Religion is largely absent unless it's the butt of a joke, signaling a clear lean toward undermining cultural mainstays.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are scarcely shown sincerely; they're mostly set up as fodder for irony or ridicule. The show presents a pretty uniform secular, progressive worldview, leaving little space for genuine dissent or classical perspectives.
