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

Misfits feels refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It celebrates character flaws, chaos, and doesn’t let ideology take center stage. If only current TV had this level of irreverence and unpredictability.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Misfits focuses on flawed, believable characters who are interesting because of their personalities and situations, not because of box-checking. While it features a diverse cast, this diversity is woven organically into the story rather than feeling forced or ideological.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show leans into irreverence and dark humor, poking fun at just about everyone, including the characters’ own bad decisions, but it never goes out of its way to undermine family, faith, or masculinity as a matter of principle. Traditional roles are neither glorified nor villainized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s plenty of anti-hero attitude and a wide range of moral messiness throughout. Various viewpoints are present, nobody gets a monopoly on the moral high ground, and even the politically correct themes are handled with some irony and skepticism.
