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

The Imperfects is a prime example of modern “woke” television: narrative often yields to identity themes, traditional values get the cold shoulder, and there's a glaring uniformity of worldview among its cast. Those tired of woke tropes may find little to cheer for here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The Imperfects places heavy emphasis on identity, diverse casting is front and center, and character backstories often tie directly to social issues rather than organic narrative development. At times, it feels like the show is checking representation boxes, leaving less room for nuanced character growth or traditional hero’s journeys.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Themes frequently challenge traditional norms: masculinity is regularly depicted as flawed or toxic, family units and religion are either sidelined or shown as sources of conflict, not support. The show leans into modern values, often at the expense of longstanding cultural frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Most main characters share similar progressive social assumptions, with very little room for genuine dissenting perspectives. Alternative or traditional viewpoints are reduced to caricatures, if they’re acknowledged at all, leaving little ideological diversity on screen.
