This Is Going to Hurt2022

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

Like a trip to the NHS waiting room, 'This Is Going to Hurt' is infused with modern ideology, sometimes at the expense of good old-fashioned storytelling. If you're in the market for a less-than-subtle dose of contemporary values and social critique, this show has you covered.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show places strong focus on identity and social commentary, particularly topics around the NHS, class, race, and sexuality. While the main narrative is largely intact, certain character arcs and plotlines lean toward checking modern ideological boxes, leaving traditional storytelling elements in the back seat at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s a noticeable tendency to question or critique longstanding institutions like marriage and religion, and traditional gender roles are subverted. Masculinity, in particular, is often played for laughs or painted as problematic, which feels like standard modern TV fare these days.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are mostly marginalized or lampooned. Conservative, religious, or family-oriented perspectives rarely get a fair or nuanced shake, with progressive social attitudes largely baked into the core narrative and all major characters.
