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

Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors leans heavily into modern ideological themes, especially around gender and family. While it raises important issues, it does so with a distinct lack of subtlety, leaving little room for traditional perspectives or balanced character development.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show heavily emphasizes gender issues, framing the female protagonist almost exclusively through her victimhood and oppression. While the topic is serious, this approach can crowd out more nuanced character development and leaves little space for portraying individuals as complex beyond their identities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Themes related to family, marriage, and masculinity are depicted quite negatively. Traditional roles are questioned or outright criticized, with most male characters shown as flawed, controlling, or outright villainous, which may be read as undermining foundational cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series offers a largely one-sided portrayal of issues like domestic abuse and marital conflict. Characters with alternative worldviews or traditional stances are rarely fleshed out, often serving as obstacles, with little room for internal debate or nuanced perspectives.
