Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Stingray is a classic mid-60s adventure series that focuses on action, heroism, and technological wonders. Character traits revolve around merit and role, not modern identity-driven casting or themes. It’s about exciting underwater escapades, not ticking boxes for representation, so the narrative holds strong.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show reflects the cultural norms of its era, with clear heroism, a strong sense of duty, and unselfconscious portrayals of masculinity and family. Religion and tradition aren't subverted or undermined. Gender roles are traditional, if a bit dated by modern standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative views aren’t villainized; in fact, the show doesn’t really push an overt ideology. It’s good guys versus bad guys, without shoehorning in contemporary issues. If anything, it’s almost refreshingly apolitical by today’s standards.
