Here and Now2018

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

‘Here and Now’ is a textbook example of a show so invested in its modern messaging that it loses narrative nuance. Nearly every box on the woke checklist is ticked, from forced representation to total ideological uniformity. Traditional viewers may find little to connect with here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show appears to make identity a primary driver of the narrative, emphasizing race, gender, and sexuality over organic character development. Several major characters seem selected more for representing a checklist of modern diversity than fitting into a cohesive story, making the plot feel forced and didactic at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

'Here and Now' often critiques traditional family structures and explores religious themes through a skeptical, sometimes dismissive lens. Masculine and traditional roles are subverted regularly, with older values presented as sources of conflict more than sources of strength or wisdom.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting or traditional perspectives are largely caricatured, often presented as problematic or bigoted, with little sincere exploration of those viewpoints. The show’s main cast seems unified by a similar progressive worldview, with minimal internal debate or pluralism.
