What We Think

'SKAM' wears its progressive heart on its sleeve, identity and ideology routinely drive the plot. It’s earnest, but for viewers seeking non-woke perspectives or richer narrative balance, expect a heavy dose of Scandi-woke sensibilities throughout.

Family, faith, and other cultural touchstones are frequently shown as sources of conflict or narrow-mindedness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture
