What We Think

For a 2010 network drama, The Deep End is refreshingly non-woke. It leans into character-driven storytelling and avoids prioritizing modern identity politics, making it a mostly traditional and accessible watch.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The Deep End generally sticks to a traditional legal drama format, focusing on character skills, ambition, and ethical dilemmas more than identity topics. While there is some diverse casting, it doesn't seem forced or prioritized over the story. The narrative remains primarily driven by the characters' growth and professional challenges.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show does not appear to actively undermine family, religion, or traditional values. Masculinity and femininity are both represented in nuanced ways, and the themes align more with conventional workplace drama than modern ideological revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren't heavily mocked or villainized, and there is at least some debate among characters about moral and ethical choices in the legal field. The show isn't pushing a single worldview onto its audience, though it operates within standard network TV bounds.
