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 Torpedoes" tiptoes near wokedom in a few areas but mostly keeps things balanced. A couple of preachy moments aside, its narrative and themes remain generally grounded, so it won't make most non-woke viewers run for the exits.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"The Torpedoes" mostly keeps its narrative focused on story and character development, but there are a few moments where identity themes creep in, and the casting appears to nod toward inclusivity for its own sake. Still, it largely avoids sacrificing plot coherence for message.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional ideas of family and masculinity are neither demonized nor overtly satirized here. There is occasional mild subversion, for instance, the odd dialogue poking fun at stereotypes, but it doesn’t get in the way of the plot or character arcs much.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the show allows some space for differing opinions, traditional views sometimes become punchlines. Alternative perspectives are present, though not always treated with much nuance, which could be seen as a slight tilt toward an ideological monoculture.
