What We Think

The Deep is a rare example from recent years where diverse casting doesn’t come at the cost of solid, non-woke storytelling. It values family, adventure, and personal growth over ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

In our view, The Deep focuses on adventurous family storytelling, with the Nekton family as capable leads rather than identity-driven characters. While the family is notably multicultural, the show's narrative isn’t predominantly driven by identity politics or forced traits, prioritizing adventure, teamwork, and curiosity instead.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as family, bravery, and working together are celebrated. Masculinity is not mocked nor is femininity overly elevated; both parents and children contribute in grounded, plausible ways. There's little evidence of the show undermining core cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There does not appear to be significant villainization of dissenting views or mockery of tradition. While the family’s diverse background aligns with modern norms, the focus remains on universal themes rather than pushing a single rigid worldview.
