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 Neighborhood wears its ideology on its sleeve, prioritizing modern social themes over balanced storytelling. It’s not exactly subtle, and if you're tired of every joke doubling as a social lesson, this one's pretty textbook Hollywood 'woke.'

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show leans heavily on themes of race and identity, often at the expense of nuanced character development or traditional sitcom storytelling. Many plots hinge on the identity politics of the main characters, sometimes sidelining more universal or compelling personal arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and masculinity are frequently questioned or gently mocked, with the series nudging viewers toward modern social views. Token nods to religion or established cultural norms are overshadowed by progressive messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional perspectives are usually played for laughs or presented as out-of-touch. There is little authentic debate or plurality; the show’s worldview feels very aligned with mainstream Hollywood orthodoxy on race and identity.
