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

Undercover is a textbook example of the overly woke drama: prioritizing ideology over storytelling, sidelining traditional values, and painting the world in the brightest progressive colors. If you’re looking for balance or nuance, this probably isn’t the show for you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently places identity and social justice issues front and center, sometimes at the expense of coherent or balanced storytelling. Several main characters are defined more by their race and ideology than by multidimensional personal traits, which can make for a heavy-handed viewing experience.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Undercover doesn’t exactly treat traditional institutions kindly. It often frames the legal system, family dynamics, and religious faith as either corrupt or outdated, while elevating characters pushing modern, progressive views with little nuance. That dynamic is impossible to miss.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s very little sincere exploration of alternative viewpoints. Traditional or dissenting voices receive little more than villain status or surface-level treatment, hardly a model of ideological diversity. Every major moral debate seems to get steamrolled by the same worldview.
