What We Think

Deep State stands out as a non-woke action thriller, prioritizing narrative and classic values over modern ideological trends. It’s what many would call a throwback, refreshing amid a sea of identity-driven content.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Deep State largely focuses on espionage, action, and personal stakes without shoving identity politics to the forefront. Characters feel chosen for their fit in a spy thriller rather than to check boxes, with narrative staying in command.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, duty, even masculinity, are central to the plot. While modern sensibilities are acknowledged, there's no attempt to undermine or mock classic roles; if anything, it treats them with a reasonable amount of seriousness and respect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show offers shades of moral ambiguity and allows for different perspectives on intelligence, ethics, and loyalty. Traditional perspectives aren’t villainized; if anything, the story is refreshingly pluralistic compared to most recent productions.
