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

Dead Set is a rare example of a modern(ish) show that skips the identity checklist. It’s more focused on skewering reality TV than lecturing viewers on social issues, resulting in a refreshing break from the usual woke formula.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dead Set keeps its focus firmly on survival horror and social satire, rather than forcing in identity politics or box-ticking representation. Characters behave like flawed, realistic people, rather than ideological archetypes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There's very little direct commentary on family, religion, or traditional morality. Masculinity and femininity are played mostly for drama or dark humor, not for ideological subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely avoids overt political statements and doesn't villainize dissenting perspectives or traditional values. The satire is directed more at celebrity culture than at social categories or worldviews.
