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

"Extraordinary" goes all-in on modern identity politics, subverting tradition and sidelining alternative perspectives in favor of a single progressive worldview. Expect plenty of winking references to woke sensibilities and little in the way of classic storytelling or ideological diversity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show foregrounds identity themes heavily, centering a diverse cast and often making character traits like sexuality and gender the focal point rather than traditional character development. While entertaining, the plot sometimes feels secondary to virtue-signaling and presenting progressive tropes expected from modern British TV.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional ideas about family, masculinity, and even morality are openly subverted and poked fun at. Roles are reversed, and conventional dynamics are deconstructed in favor of more contemporary values. It's very much a product of current cultural attitudes rather than engaging with tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show operates within a clear ideological lane, with hardly any genuine exploration of alternative or traditional viewpoints. Conventional beliefs are mostly caricatured or used for comic relief, leaving little room for real debate or diversity of thought.
