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

'Dummy' wears its wokeness like a badge, sacrificing story depth and balance for edgy identity themes. If you're looking for old-fashioned storytelling or complexity of worldview, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'Dummy' centers heavily on identity-driven narratives, sometimes at the expense of deeper character exploration or realism. The plot centers on female bonding and quirky conversations with a sex doll, putting ideology and shock value over organic development. Representation sometimes feels shoehorned rather than seed-grown.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show openly challenges traditional notions of relationships, intimacy, and gender roles, sometimes to the point of making the traditional seem archaic or out-of-touch. Masculinity, especially, is portrayed in a less-than-flattering light, often as the butt of jokes or as an obstacle to be overcome.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative views rarely get sincere airtime, dissenters are typically played for laughs or dismissed. The entire story world seems to share the same modern moral outlook, with very little room for pluralism or good-faith disagreement.
