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

For a modern show, "UFOs" is refreshingly non-woke. It prefers laughs and surreal antics over soapboxing or preaching. If you’re exhausted by Hollywood’s usual checklists, this one’s a rare UFO itself: it just wants you to have some fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"UFOs" focuses more on eccentric comedy and sci-fi oddities than shoehorning in identity politics or checking diversity boxes. Characters are quirky but grounded, with their skills and personalities driving the show rather than identity factors. No obvious signs of narrative being sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is set in late-1970s France and, if anything, offers a tongue-in-cheek look at social norms rather than a crusade against tradition. Family life, work, and masculinity play out authentically in the period without excessive revisionism or mockery.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No detectable ideological monoculture. There’s a range of oddball perspectives, and while the show is light on overt political themes, it doesn’t villainize or caricature any classic group. Worldviews clash through humor, not ideology.
