What We Think

'The Mick' is more about slapstick dysfunction than activism. While irreverent to everyone, it avoids the sort of box-ticking and lectures that increasingly typify woke TV. Call it refreshingly un-woke in today’s landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show prioritizes comedic storytelling and character flaws over identity-based plotting. Characters are exaggerated for laughs, but their quirks stem more from dysfunction than any ideological box-ticking. There’s little evidence of forced representation or narrative being reshaped to appease modern identity expectations.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Family dysfunction is core to 'The Mick', but the mockery feels more like classic irreverent sitcom fare than an ideological attack. Masculinity and femininity are both lampooned, and traditional institutions are played for humor, not targeted for deconstruction or scolding, so cultural bedrock remains mostly untouched.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The humor is irreverent in all directions, often poking fun at progressive as well as traditional attitudes. There is no clear ideological monoculture, if anything, the show tries to offend everyone equally and does not preach a singular worldview.
