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

'Parliament' is more interested in political satire than pushing a woke agenda. It checks a few modern representation boxes, but mostly just skewers the ridiculousness of EU politics, avoiding the worst excesses of current Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

'Parliament' focuses on political satire with diverse characters, but rarely does identity overshadow role or plot. There are a few moments where identity-driven representation feels tacked on, but overall, the show seems more concerned with lampooning bureaucracy than checking all the woke boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series occasionally pokes fun at national stereotypes and traditional values, and a couple of episodes nudge at cultural norms. However, it doesn't go out of its way to undermine religion, family, or classic masculinity, its main target remains bureaucracy and the EU's dysfunctions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While there’s definitely a Eurocratic consensus underlying the humor, not every perspective gets lampooned equally, some traditional views are played for laughs or dismissed. There’s a bias, but the show retains enough parody and pluralism not to feel like pure monologue.
