Control Z2020

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

Control Z is a prime example of the modern "woke" teen drama, putting social themes front and center. It subordinates story for ideology, revises cultural foundations, and lets only one worldview in the room. Expect a heavy serving of trendy moral lessons.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Control Z leans heavily into identity themes, making sexuality, gender, and mental health central to character arcs. Some character decisions and dramatic twists seem tailored to check social boxes, rather than purely story-driven development. The narrative sometimes appears secondary to exploring contemporary social issues.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional views of family, religion, and masculinity are frequently challenged or reinterpreted. Parents and authority figures are often inept or absent, and the show tends to frame traditional cultural markers as outdated or problematic. It's fairly modern in its worldview.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are rarely explored with nuance. Dissenters are often portrayed through negative stereotypes, and most characters share the same progressive assumptions. Pluralism is nearly absent; everyone is reading from the same script.
