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

"Killer Wave" feels blissfully pre-woke, letting the suspense and crisis drive the show rather than giving audiences a lecture. This is one of those popcorn flicks where the only tidal wave comes from the plot, not identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Killer Wave" largely sticks to classic disaster-thriller tropes, scientists, conspiracies, and government intrigue, without prioritizing identity politics over story. Characters' personal backgrounds don't overshadow their roles or drive the plot, which is refreshingly straightforward.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series doesn't go out of its way to mock or undermine traditional institutions like family or masculinity. Instead, it follows a familiar, time-tested formula of heroes versus villains, without overt commentary on modern cultural themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little in the way of overt message-pushing or demonization of alternative views. While you won't find much ideological diversity (it’s a disaster thriller, not a debate club), there’s no apparent messaging demanding a 'correct' worldview, either.
