What We Think

"Free Agents" manages to sidestep the worst of the woke traps. It’s an old-school, character-driven farce where identities aren’t center stage and cultural norms are left largely unscathed. If you’re tired of lectures in your sitcoms, this one should feel like a breath of non-woke air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Free Agents" is a workplace comedy that focuses on flawed adults coping with love and loss. Characters are developed based on personality quirks and life circumstances, not identity checklists. Forced representation and hyper-competency are basically absent, letting the humor land where it should, on awkward relationships and personal struggles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show takes no real aim at religion or traditional values and its humor is rooted more in personal mishaps than cultural subversion. Gender dynamics are classic, men and women are equally messed up and nobody is sanctified for their identity. No revisionist history or undermined family units here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

"Free Agents" doesn't go out of its way to push any singular worldview. There’s some playful ribbing of modern dating, but dissenting perspectives aren’t villainized, nor is any one ideology held as gospel. Characters clash over personalities, not politics. It mostly sits comfortably outside the ideological monoculture parade.
