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

Hoops is more interested in shock humor than woke messaging. It’s crude, raunchy, and sometimes tasteless, but mostly dodges the preachy identity politics dominating modern shows. Not non-woke in a traditional sense but avoids the pitfalls of heavy-handed social commentary.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Hoops doesn't prioritize identity-based casting or activism in its plot. The characters are abrasive and crude, but their traits are based on dysfunctional personalities, not identity checkboxes. No major plotlines revolve around social justice talking points, and it focuses mostly on irreverent comedy.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at traditional authority, especially teachers and parents, but it does so via crude humor rather than overt ideology. Masculinity and family are mocked, but it’s part of a general, nihilistic comedy style rather than an agenda-driven rewriting of cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Hoops is far more interested in making jokes than in political lecturing. While it’s not a haven for classic values, it doesn’t shove a progressive worldview down viewers’ throats or overtly villainize traditional perspectives. It’s apolitical nihilism, not a woke monoculture.
