Review of Naked

Naked (2018– )
6/10
Nothing to hide
18 October 2018
After being in a coma a police officer wakens to a world where nudity is obligatory. But it's not just nudity, total transparency. While the characters are naked the bags they carry, satchels, handbags, backbacks are transparent.

The first episodes have a certain shock value as nothing is censored or hidden, and there is definite humour. It's difficult not to raise a smile at main character's predicament. However, as the story progresses the underlying concept of "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide." sinks in. The phrase has an arguable etymology but is frequently attribute to George Orwell or Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda.

This darker side becomes more obvious as the story progresses. Despite the superficial titilation, and the humour, this series is thought provoking and raises fundamental questions in a deceptively light-hearted way.
