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

Sprung is more interested in laughs and pandemic hijinks than pushing a woke agenda. While there’s some surface-level modern sensibility, it doesn’t prioritize ideology over story, nor aggressively undermine traditional values. Not exactly a non-woke classic, but far from Hollywood’s wokest offender.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Sprung’s focus is primarily on quirky ex-cons adapting to life during the pandemic. The cast is diverse, but character dynamics generally stem from their backgrounds and flaws rather than identity checklists. There’s little evidence that core personality or merit takes a back seat to box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at social conventions, but it doesn’t turn religion, family, or masculinity into punching bags. Traditional values aren’t front-and-center, yet are treated more with irreverent humor than disdain, certainly not the ground-zero for cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Sprung offers comic jabs at the world but stops short of demonizing every non-woke view. There’s more emphasis on pandemic-era absurdities and human foibles than on hardline ideology enforcement. Viewpoints are varied, if sometimes broad or exaggerated.
