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

"You" isn't your typical 'woke' show, its main focus is psychological suspense rather than checking boxes for diversity or hammering social issues. Some modern themes sneak in, but the show is more interested in telling a twisted, unsettling story than pushing an ideological agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "You" follows a dark, character-driven story and doesn't overtly prioritize identity politics over plot, there is occasional emphasis on social issues. However, the focus remains more on psychological drama than agenda-pushing, suggesting minimal narrative compromise.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show does take jabs at modern masculinity, relationships, and social media obsession, but largely within the context of flawed characters rather than a sweeping critique of traditional values. It's more a critique of obsession and technology than an assault on cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series presents some stereotypical takes on 'toxic masculinity' and critiques influencer culture, but also allows various character viewpoints and flaws. Alternative perspectives exist but aren't highlighted, making it non-diverse in worldview, though not egregiously so.
