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

Years and Years is a perfect case study in modern woke television, sacrificing deep narrative and genuine pluralism for relentless, one-sided social messaging. Traditional values are out; approved opinions only, please.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently prioritizes social issues and identity politics over natural character development and plot. Diverse characters often seem written in to fit boxes rather than serve the story, with several identity-centric plotlines feeling forced or didactic. Social commentary drives the narrative far more than organic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, religion, and even national identity are depicted as outdated or irrelevant. Masculinity is regularly mocked or undermined, while conservative or traditional worldviews are shown as limiting or regressive. The show has a heavy focus on dismantling cultural norms to fit its message.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

It’s a parade of progressive ideology from start to finish. Alternative viewpoints are mostly strawmen, portrayed as villains or ignorant holdouts. Pluralism is almost nonexistent; every major character appears to share the same ideological baseline with little legitimate on-screen debate.
