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

Kidding isn’t a parade of woke lecturing, it’s more interested in exploring human struggles than identity checkboxes. While it dips its toe in questioning tradition, it remains focused on flawed, real characters rather than woke stereotypes. Moderately non-woke for a recent show.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Kidding focuses primarily on character-driven storytelling and personal trauma rather than hammering identity-based talking points. The show doesn’t force identity politics into the narrative, and characters are explored for their flaws and complexities, not just their demographic boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series does challenge some traditional family norms and morality, depicting existential crisis and changing perspectives on parental authority. While it doesn’t outright attack religion or family, it nudges viewers to question the status quo, so there’s a mild undercurrent of cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a fair mix of viewpoints, no one side is treated as the absolute villain, and characters struggle with different worldviews. Still, it leans more modern in its moral assumptions, even as it attempts nuance, which removes some ideological diversity.
