What We Think

'Six Feet Under' is more nuanced than most 'woke' shows today. It explores social issues and identity but rarely feels preachy or revamps its story just for modern ideology. Traditional values are often contested but not outright villainized. Its relatively balanced approach keeps its woke level moderate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While 'Six Feet Under' features progressive themes and diverse characters, it generally maintains strong character-driven storytelling. Identity plays a role, but the narrative seldom feels sacrificed for the sake of ideology. Most characters are layered, flawed, and compelling, with growth emerging from personal struggle rather than tokenism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show interrogates traditional family, religion, and morality, often with a critical lens. Some viewers may see this as undermining cultural foundations, especially as it questions the role of masculinity, mortality, and religion, but it stops short of outright mockery or simplistic reversal of values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'Six Feet Under' leans left of center, with limited sincere representation of more traditional worldviews. Still, some traditional perspectives are present, and dissent within the family contributes to authentic conflict and debate, softening the ideological uniformity some viewers spot in newer shows.
