Conversations with Friends2022

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

Conversations with Friends fits the modern playbook: heavy focus on identity, progressive social themes, and little room for traditional perspectives. If you’re seeking non-woke storytelling, this one won’t make the shortlist.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show places heavy emphasis on identity and emotional introspection, with character traits like sexuality and self-identity given more weight than actual development or plot progression. It can feel as if depth is substituted for discussing social themes, which some viewers might see as narrative sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, faithfulness, monogamy, stable relationships, are regularly challenged or subverted. Religion and family are largely sidelined, while modern conceptions of romance, sexuality, and personal truth are validated and normalized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional worldviews are not given serious or sympathetic treatment. Characters who question the progressive consensus are rare, and dissenting voices are mostly background noise, if present at all.
