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

"Glass Ceiling" is a showcase for modern ideological trends, putting representation and messaging above story depth or character realism. Traditional values get the short end of the stick, and the series largely avoids any diversity of thought. Wokeness runs the show here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Glass Ceiling" leans heavily into identity-driven storytelling. The focus often seems to be on checking diversity boxes, with character backgrounds featured more than their personalities or arcs. At times, merit or realism seems secondary to meeting representation quotas, leading to some fairly predictable character beats.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions like family and religion are often depicted as obsolete or even problems to be overcome. Masculinity is portrayed as a source of either comedy or antagonism, while non-traditional gender and relationship models are elevated as the new norm.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

It appears that alternative viewpoints are either ignored or presented in a negative light. Any traditionalist or dissenting character is written mostly as a villain or comic relief, and discussion or debate around these topics is essentially non-existent.
