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

'High School' leans heavily into modern identity politics, frequently putting ideology ahead of storytelling. Expect plenty of ‘message moments’ and not much room for traditional values to breathe. A textbook example of Hollywood’s current climate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show places heavy emphasis on identity and sexuality as core conflicts, with coming-of-age moments often revolving around these themes. Many character traits are filtered through a modern lens, and representation appears prioritized over nuanced character development or broader relatability.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional notions of family and gender roles are regularly challenged, while parental and religious authority figures are portrayed as closed-minded or unsympathetic. The show seems more interested in questioning than respecting cultural foundations, which may rub some viewers the wrong way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The narrative appears to offer little room for genuinely alternative points of view; more traditional perspectives or hesitations are largely shown as obstacles or sources of tension to be overcome, rather than legitimate stances. There’s minimal internal debate or moral pluralism.
