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 Tomorrow People" flirts with wokeness by emphasizing modern identity and a touch of ideological sameness, but for the most part, it doesn’t aggressively sacrifice story. More basic Gen-Z superhero stuff than a full-blown woke manifesto.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"The Tomorrow People" gives some emphasis to the background and identity of its diverse cast, but mostly keeps character personalities and development in focus. There are a few moments where identity feels shoehorned in, but it doesn’t consistently overshadow the sci-fi narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show lightly touches on themes of family and belonging, while also featuring a typical Gen-Z individualism. Traditional roles aren’t heavily mocked, but the series doesn’t actively reinforce cultural or classic moral foundations either. It mostly sits on the fence.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives or dissent are rarely given thoughtful space; antagonists represent traditional authority and are one-dimensional at times. The "chosen ones" narrative leans into typical modern superhero tropes, lacking serious debate or plurality.
