What We Think

"Killing It" doesn’t break new ground for wokeness but comfortably settles into the current TV trend: identity-driven humor, lampooning of old values, and presenting a fairly uniform worldview. You’ll find plenty of familiar ‘woke’ hallmarks, served with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Killing It" leans into identity-based humor and character backstories, sometimes prioritizing social messages over organic plot and character development. While some aspects serve the story, at times it feels more like a platform for modern talking points than a grounded character journey.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show often pokes fun at traditional values, portraying family, religious, and especially masculine archetypes in a satirical light. Certain themes could be seen as dismissive toward classic American perseverance, instead promoting more modern, individualistic worldviews.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Most of the characters share fairly unified socially progressive attitudes, with more traditional or dissenting voices mostly depicted as comedic, backward, or obstacles to be overcome rather than as complex or sympathetic individuals.
