Full Frontal with Samantha Bee2016

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

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is a textbook example of maximum wokeness on late-night TV: traditional ideas get mocked, diverse voices are present, so long as they echo the same approved worldview. If you’re allergic to preachy, self-congratulatory comedy, prepare yourself.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

As a current events comedy show, narrative generally takes a backseat to messaging. The show is consistently focused on social justice topics, and identity-based angles are frequently foregrounded, often overshadowing nuance or debate. Personality and comedic delivery take a back seat to ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and traditional values are frequently targets for sarcastic critique or mockery. Traditional masculinity is often lampooned, and longstanding cultural institutions tend to be portrayed as regressive or out of touch, aligning with a thoroughly modern ideological lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show rarely, if ever, explores viewpoints outside a particular progressive orthodoxy. Alternative takes are either ridiculed or cast as overtly villainous, with little room for genuine discussion or debate, ideological uniformity reigns supreme.
