What We Think

'Life In Squares' wears its progressive stripes on its sleeve. While offering some insight into the Bloomsbury Group, it tends to prioritize modern ideologies over balanced storytelling, leaving tradition out in the cold.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Life In Squares' often emphasizes characters' unconventional sexuality and gender roles over other aspects of their personalities or achievements. The show leans into identity themes in ways that sometimes overshadow the momentum of the narrative, though it still engages with period drama conventions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series frequently portrays traditional values, especially around family, marriage, and sexuality, as repressive or outdated, favoring the Bloomsbury Group's modernist ideals. This depiction could be seen as undermining the significance of tradition, faith, and established morality.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show primarily presents the values of early 20th-century progressives as enlightened, while dissenting or more conventional perspectives are generally marginalized or caricatured. There's little space for genuine debate around the group's nontraditional values.
