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 Resident checks several woke boxes, with its emphasis on representation and progressive viewpoints sometimes overshadowing organic storytelling. While it doesn't completely abandon tradition, the show's perspective is solidly modern and leans into a predictable ideological lane.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Resident tends to highlight issues of representation with characters of diverse backgrounds, sometimes making identity more visible than character depth. While medical drama is intact, there are moments where messaging feels prioritized over organic storytelling, particularly with certain 'teachy' episodes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show often challenges traditional hierarchies in medicine and portrays authority skeptically. While not throwing out family or morality altogether, it does frame certain roles, especially traditional masculine figures, in a less flattering light compared to more modern or diverse characters.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially those critical of modern progressivism, are rarely given depth. Traditional or skeptical viewpoints are sometimes reduced to antagonistic roles, and there’s little sincere representation of viewpoints outside the contemporary mainstream.
