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 Patients of Dr. García’ sprinkles in modern sensibilities and identity themes, but generally keeps its eye on the story and historical intrigue. It’s more gently woke than preachy, but still wears its ideological leanings on its sleeve.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The series places some focus on identity, particularly wartime intrigue involving shifting allegiances, and diverse characters appear important. While the narrative sometimes pauses to spotlight representation, most characters remain motivated by believable personal stakes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show gently critiques traditional structures like family and religion via its backdrop of political upheaval, but does not aggressively tear down these foundations. It approaches gender and identity with a modern eye, yet doesn’t go out of its way to mock tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the Francoist regime is shown in a clearly villainous light and progressive resistance is central, there isn’t much effort devoted to sympathetically highlighting other worldviews. The ideological spectrum feels narrow, but not cartoonishly so.
