What We Think

'Mr. D' stands out as a non-woke oasis in a desert of ideologically-driven sitcoms. Character-driven humor comes first, not agenda. If you’re tired of messaging trumping comedy, this one might restore your faith in television.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Mr. D' keeps its focus on humor and character quirks instead of highlighting identity politics. The casting and character arcs are driven by comedy and personality, not ideology or forced representation. There’s minimal sense of narrative being sacrificed for modern ideological messaging, which is honestly refreshing these days.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show’s humor is rooted in everyday school life and middle-class Canadian culture. Traditional values and family are not undermined, and masculinity is often lampooned but in a broadly relatable, good-natured way. There’s none of the heavy-handed subversion or cultural revisionism typical of recent woke fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, from stuffy administration to eccentric teachers, are given fair comedic representation. No worldview is overtly villainized, and the show avoids ideological moralizing, preferring to poke fun at everyone equally. It feels open to pluralism rather than closed to dissent.
