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

'He’s Expecting' is a textbook example of modern wokeness, built entirely around a progressive thought experiment rather than genuine narrative or cultural grounding. It checks nearly every box on the “woke” criteria and then some.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In this show, the premise itself, men experiencing pregnancy, relies heavily on a social message rather than organic narrative development. Characters are largely defined by identity factors and plot bends over backward to explore modern issues, often at the expense of plausibility and deep character arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and gender roles are not just questioned, they’re upended entirely. Masculinity is redefined, parenthood is unmoored from biology, and the show critiques longstanding cultural norms about gender and family, aligning itself with contemporary progressive sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, like skepticism toward men experiencing pregnancy, get little authentic consideration, often presented through strawman arguments or outdated caricatures. The show’s social messaging is united behind a single, modern ideology with near-total buy-in from significant characters.
