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

'Under Fire' tries to balance drama with relevancy but often trips over its own desire to meet modern ideological standards. Conventional character arcs take a backseat to 'right side of history' checkboxes. Not the wokest on the market, but it’s definitely up there.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the firefighting premise offers grounded drama, 'Under Fire' at times emphasizes identity traits and representation over deeper development or skill-based storytelling. The plot can feel driven by current social themes, occasionally sacrificing narrative growth for surface-level inclusivity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional roles and dynamics are somewhat subverted. Some characters, particularly women, are framed as morally or professionally superior with little exploration of flaws or traditional family values. Masculine leadership is occasionally undermined or problematized without substantial nuance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints aren't delved into sincerely; challenges to the main group's worldview are quickly dismissed and mostly come from one-dimensional antagonists. The show maintains a mostly uniform ideological perspective on social issues.
