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

HIP - High Intellectual Potential lands more in the "modern televised drama" camp rather than full-on woke territory. Its single-mother heroine and themes edge towards current TV trends but avoid overwhelming the story with ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show features a working-class single mother with savant-level IQ who joins a police unit, which may strike some as an attempt to prioritize representation. However, character depth and storytelling remain largely intact, with the protagonist's quirks and personal struggles well integrated.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family roles are subverted, with the single mother front and center, and male authority figures sometimes depicted as out of their depth. Still, the show doesn't aggressively attack family or religious values, mostly focusing instead on the heroine's unorthodox lifestyle.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't viciously mocked, but the narrative world is one where traditional norms take a back seat. The protagonist’s unconventionality is celebrated and rarely seriously challenged by other characters.
