What We Think

Peep Show is a relic from the early 2000s, awkward, irreverent, and blissfully unburdened by modern wokeness. Character, story, and comedy always take priority over identity politics or preachiness. Definitely one for the non-woke archives.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Peep Show is remarkably non-woke by today’s standards. Characterization focuses on actual flaws, quirks, and personality over identity. Casting is merit-based and driven by storytelling rather than ticking any diversity checkboxes. The narrative stays true to the cringe-comedy formula, sacrificing nothing for ideological points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional relationships, moral struggles, masculinity, and family dynamics are depicted openly, albeit through a humorously dysfunctional lens. The show hardly go out of its way to subvert or attack foundational norms, instead finding comedic gold in the everyday messes of modern life.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Peep Show satirizes a broad range of viewpoints, including left-wing and right-wing absurdities alike. Dissenting or traditional voices aren’t simply dismissed or vilified, everyone is open to ridicule. No dominant ideology is left unmocked, which is pretty refreshing.
