What We Think

‘Santa Clarita Diet’ is more interested in quirky comedy than woke messaging. While there are moments where modern ideology peeks in, it’s generally balanced by a satirical tone and retains some traditional family core, avoiding full-blown wokery.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While ‘Santa Clarita Diet’ features some modern, diverse casting, the show’s outlandish zombie premise is its main narrative focus. Representation choices don’t overtly overshadow character development; however, there are hints of contemporary sensitivities influencing side characters and dynamics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional concepts like marriage and family are at the core, albeit through a quirky, irreverent lens. Some jokes poke fun at suburbia and domestic roles, but the family remains functional and close-knit, even if the absurd premise undercuts seriousness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative or non-mainstream perspectives are occasionally lampooned, and there isn’t much diversity of worldview. The setting is firmly rooted in coastal California liberalism, and certain traditional attitudes are played for laughs or as out of touch.
