What We Think

'Light as a Feather' delivers a teen thriller steeped in modern identity politics. While entertaining for its audience, it tends to value the usual woke checkmarks over memorable, grounded storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show leans into diverse casting typical of recent teen dramas, sometimes feeling more like box-checking than organic character work. Multiple identity traits are foregrounded over personal depth or skill, and conflicts often arise from these identity dynamics rather than more timeless storytelling arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes, like family authority and religion, are largely sidelined or depicted as irrelevant, with a strong focus on individualism and modern social trends. Masculinity takes a definite backseat, while female and queer characters are given more narrative focus and moral agency.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Divergent viewpoints are mostly absent; any hint of alternative worldview is generally associated with outdated attitudes or minor antagonists, ensuring the main cast embodies a set of current, fashionable talking points without much debate.
