What We Think

The New Norm doesn’t just dip a toe into woke waters, it cannonballs right in. Every episode seems meticulously crafted to prioritize identity and ideology over story, all while giving traditional values the cold shoulder. Definitely one for the woke-o-meter’s highlight reel.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The New Norm places an extremely heavy focus on characters’ identities, frequently spotlighting race, gender, and sexuality over actual story or personality. Many scenes seem crafted just to highlight representation rather than genuine development, and more than one central character comes off as flawless, sapping any real tension.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures and masculinity are often depicted as sources of conflict or even ridicule. The show tends to subvert established values, presenting more conventional worldviews as outdated while modern sensibilities get the hero edit. There’s not much subtlety about which values the show thinks are ‘acceptable.’

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or more traditional perspectives mostly show up as strawmen, sometimes for a punchline, sometimes as outright antagonists. The worldview is remarkably uniform, with all main characters echoing nearly the exact same moral assumptions and positions. Don’t hold your breath for pluralism here.
