What We Think

If you’re looking for textbook “woke” television, this is it. ‘The Ultimatum: Queer Love’ checks every box: identity-first storytelling, subversion of traditional norms, and a monoculture of modern progressive values. It’s a showcase for 2020s ideological orthodoxy, no room for those pesky ‘old-fashioned’ points of view.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show's entire premise centers on LGBTQ+ relationships to the exclusion of traditional couples. In our view, identity is foregrounded above all else, with casting and narratives seemingly prioritizing representation over a more universal exploration of relationship dynamics. This can give the impression that ideology is steering the ship.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Family, traditional marriage, and Judeo-Christian morality are largely absent or reinterpreted. The series not only subverts the conventional relationship format but also elevates non-traditional dynamics as more modern and progressive. Traditional gender and family roles? Nowhere to be seen.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or dissenting worldviews are essentially airbrushed out. Heterosexual relationships, traditional values, and competing perspectives are absent or, at best, implied as passé. All the main narratives proceed according to a very narrow, modern ideological script.
