What We Think

‘After Life’ stays refreshingly far from the usual ‘woke’ trappings. Rooted in genuine human experience and complexity, it sidesteps forced narratives, offers authentic takes on family and faith, and respects multiple perspectives. This is as non-woke as modern TV gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

‘After Life’ focuses on character depth and emotional honesty rather than checking boxes for diversity or identity politics. The show’s narrative revolves around personal loss and philosophical reflection, with little evidence of forced representation or characters chosen for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show grapples with themes like grief and skepticism, it does not aggressively undermine family, faith, or masculinity. Tony’s character, despite his flaws, is a realistic portrayal of a traditional man grieving, rather than a caricature or target of ridicule.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series presents a range of worldviews, from cynical atheism to quiet spirituality, without villainizing either side. Traditional perspectives are present, and alternative viewpoints are given genuine space within the story.
