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

'Praise Petey' wears its woke credentials on its sleeve. The show's humor banks on upending tradition, often at the expense of genuine diversity in character arcs and worldview. Not much room for old-fashioned perspectives here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Praise Petey' leans heavily into modern identity themes, especially with a female lead 'fixing' a patriarchal town by nimbly upending traditional norms. Character personalities sometimes feel secondary to their social symbolism, and representation choices seem more box-ticking than organic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series appears to treat small-town values and masculinity with more mockery than nuance. Religion, family, and 'old-fashioned' morality are played for laughs or positioned as problems to solve, rather than as foundations with intrinsic worth.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Virtually every perspective that doesn't neatly fit modern progressive assumptions is shown as backward, villainous, or in desperate need of reform. There’s little tolerance for dissent or genuinely different viewpoints within the story's world.
