What We Think

In our view, 2023’s The Full Monty is a textbook example of a beloved classic retrofitted for the current era, plenty of forced representation and little tolerance for non-woke perspectives. If you’re after subtlety or a plurality of views, don’t expect much here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The 2023 series revives the original’s blue-collar charm, but noticeably swaps much of its old-school grit for modern identity themes. Characters seem assembled to check boxes, diverse identities get more focus than organic character development, and nuance sometimes gives way to predictable messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show spends ample time poking fun at traditional masculinity and family structures, positioning anything non-traditional as ideal. Masculine traits are frequently mocked, while new characters often seem superior for holding more progressive values. Traditional culture comes across as outdated or problematic.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s barely a hint of viewpoint diversity: traditional attitudes are caricatured or ignored, while modern progressive stances rule the day. Any dissent is usually from a straw man, so ideological debate or conflict is minimal. The ideological tone is consistently one-sided.
