What We Think

Extended Family is a sitcom that checks most contemporary boxes, diverse cast, redefined family roles, and uniform ideology. It’s not the wokest thing on TV, but there’s no mistaking which way the cultural wind is blowing here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Extended Family leans into current trends, featuring a blended family with diverse backgrounds and occasionally foregrounding identity traits over organic character arcs. While not egregiously ideological, some situations feel engineered for inclusivity over genuine storytelling, hinting at forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show pokes gentle fun at traditional family setups, putting alternative family models front and center. Masculine roles are softened and modern values highlighted, with dads portrayed as baffled yet lovable while moms get the smarter moments. It’s not revolutionary, but traditional norms are quietly rewritten.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are mostly played for laughs or gently dismissed. The show tends to assume everyone shares the same progressive values on family and identity, leaving little room for genuine debate or conflicting perspectives.
