Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World2007

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

Rick & Steve enthusiastically places woke themes front and center, with heavy-handed satire of traditional values and little interest in ideological diversity. It’s a time capsule of early 2000s progressive comedy that wears its biases on its sleeve.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show’s identity politics and edgy humor often take precedence over deeper character arcs or narrative complexity. Character traits revolving around sexuality and gender are frequently foregrounded, and many characters feel more like vehicles for commentary or satire than fully realized individuals.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Much of the show’s humor and narrative is built on lampooning traditional marriage, family structures, and religion. Masculinity and traditional values are frequently mocked or subverted, often for comedic effect, while progressive attitudes are highlighted as the norm.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show rarely offers sincere representation of traditional or dissenting views; alternative perspectives are mostly parodied, exaggerated, or set up as the butt of jokes. The core worldview strongly favors modern progressive ideologies, with little room for debate.
