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

"Below Deck Mediterranean" remains refreshingly non-woke, with its focus on interpersonal drama and yachting chaos rather than ideology. If you want reality TV without the usual Hollywood social lectures, you could do far worse.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a reality show about yacht crew drama, "Below Deck Mediterranean" focuses mostly on personalities, conflicts, and competence rather than shoehorning in identity politics. Casting appears practical for the show’s premise, with diversity arising organically rather than feeling forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t overtly critique traditions, family, or religion. There’s some lampooning of specific behaviors (all in the service of drama), but no concentrated effort to undermine cultural foundations or push progressive reimaginings.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the cast skews young and cosmopolitan, viewers encounter a range of backgrounds and opinions. There’s occasional clashing, but no heavy-handed ideological message or villainization of alternative worldviews.
