Underemployed2012

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

"Underemployed" dips its toes in early-2010s "woke-lite" waters but never fully abandons classic story structure or themes. The show is more concerned with relatable millennial struggles than heavy-handed ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While "Underemployed" features some emphasis on identity and inclusion, it largely remains focused on relatable experiences of 20-somethings entering adulthood. Some character choices feel template-driven, but they don’t fully override personal arcs or development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show occasionally subverts traditional gender roles and modernizes ideas about careers and relationships, but it doesn’t aggressively mock or undermine core cultural foundations. Family, work ethic, and friendship still play prominent roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Diverse perspectives are present, though most characters seem to share similar social values. Traditional perspectives aren’t outright villainized, but they don’t get much sincere focus either, making the worldview feel a bit one-note at times.
