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

Platonic doesn’t reach the highest echelons of ‘woke’ TV, but it leans into modern social attitudes and soft critiques of tradition. It’s not the worst offender, but nobody would mistake it for a throwback to more non-woke sitcoms, either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Platonic occasionally puts character identity and modern social dynamics ahead of classic storytelling or natural character development. Character choices sometimes feel oriented toward exploring contemporary issues over genuine comedic arcs, but the show still maintains some authentic humor and relatable moments.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional relationship norms and family life are often deconstructed or lightly mocked, with marriage and masculinity sometimes portrayed as sources of frustration or immaturity. The premise flirts with upending established gender boundaries, suggesting a critique of longstanding cultural standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show largely operates within modern urban, progressive values. Dissenting or more traditional voices are either sidelined or used for comedic effect rather than treated seriously, giving little room for worldview diversity.
