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

Petra ticks nearly every box in the “woke” playbook, foregrounding identity politics, revising cultural values, and offering little space for diverse viewpoints. For viewers tired of heavy-handed messaging, this show will likely feel like a prime example of modern Hollywood’s ideological tunnel vision.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Petra places clear emphasis on identity over depth, making its protagonist’s sexuality and gender central to her characterization while skimming past realistic flaws or inner conflict. It often feels like narrative decisions are made based on ideological messaging rather than organic character growth or plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions, especially family values and masculinity, are frequently subverted or portrayed as outdated, often ridiculed in favor of depicting more progressive, alternative lifestyles as superior. The show consistently revises expectations around relationships and gender roles to push a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Viewpoints outside the show’s progressive lens are mostly sidelined, with dissenting characters being cartoonish, stuck in the past, or outright villainized. There’s little room for genuine debate or complexity; the moral perspective often seems predetermined and uniform.
