What We Think

'Blue Planet II' is about as non-woke as big-budget TV gets these days. Its tiny trace of modern messaging relates to environmentalism, but the main focus is the breathtaking spectacle of the ocean, not human politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Blue Planet II' is focused almost entirely on ocean life, science, and stunning visuals. Character diversity, representation, or ideological themes are essentially absent, with emphasis squarely on nature itself. There are rare, mild hints at modern environmental concerns, but it doesn't come off as a vehicle for social dogma.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series is rooted in scientific observation rather than cultural commentary. It doesn’t go out of its way to undermine or reinterpret tradition, religion, or social roles. The only cultural angle is environmentalism, which, while prominent, is presented more as fact-based concern than overt ideological push.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show prioritizes a worldview centered on conservation and climate change awareness, it doesn't caricature alternative perspectives. The ideological focus is mostly on the importance of environmental stewardship, but it isn’t pushing an obvious social agenda or mocking dissenters.
