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

Why Are You Like This? exemplifies modern “woke” comedy, prioritizing ideological expression over classic storytelling. It pokes fun at tradition and centers on identity, delivering a pretty one-sided view that’s more interested in social critique than real debate or diverse perspectives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show openly centers on identity politics, often letting characters’ social stances and identity quirks drive the plot more than organic personality or skill. In our view, it sometimes feels like storytelling takes a backseat to making ideological points, with characters representing ideas rather than developing realistic arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, religion, and masculinity, are regularly lampooned or sidelined. The show revels in upending classic roles, portraying such norms as outdated or problematic, and instead favors a hyper-progressive lens on gender and morality.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are mostly used as punchlines, with little to no serious exploration or sympathy. The moral universe feels narrowly defined by contemporary identity discourse, leaving traditional or dissenting voices as mere caricatures or targets for ridicule.
