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

"Intelligence" lands in the mildly woke camp: it's aware of modern sensibilities and pokes fun at traditional ones, but it doesn't let ideology crush comedy. Expect jabs at old-fashioned thinking, but rarely at the expense of genuine entertainment.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Intelligence" leans on some modern diversity cues, but generally keeps its focus on comedic character dynamics and spy antics. Character identities are present, but rarely overtake the plot itself. It mostly opts for humor over soapboxing, so narrative integrity is only somewhat affected, not derailed.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at both American and British stereotypes, and occasionally takes jabs at masculinity or old-school attitudes. However, it mostly steers clear of heavy-handed cultural revisionism; these jokes are usually for laughs rather than deep commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is a subtle sense that more traditional or less 'progressive' views are mocked, mostly through caricature. However, the writing provides some nuance and lampoons everyone to a degree, which softens the ideological uniformity, but only slightly.
