Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Mimic' keeps its focus on quirky characters and comedic misunderstandings, not shoehorned identity politics or tokenism. The story plays to the comedic strengths of its cast, rarely if ever emphasizing race, gender, or sexuality above actual plot or humor.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics and everyday British life are presented with gentle satire but not wholesale mockery or subversion. Masculinity and family aren't pathologized or upended; instead, they're playfully explored in a lighthearted context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't seem interested in pushing a particular worldview or dogma. Dissenting opinions and traditional perspectives are not vilified; any stereotypes or tropes are played for laughs and not in a mean-spirited way.
