Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Sea Beyond' focuses on realistic character arcs and grounded storytelling. While it features a diverse cast, identity is woven naturally into the narrative, with tension and growth clearly shown. There are no obvious signs of ideology trumping plot or character development, so it keeps narrative integrity largely intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Although the show explores family breakdowns and troubled youth, it does so in a context sensitive to tradition and cultural values. Masculinity, family, and religion are depicted with nuance, and the show avoids heavy-handed villainization of these pillars, allowing for a balanced exploration.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While some modern themes are addressed, the series avoids reducing traditional perspectives to mere caricatures. Conflicting worldviews and internal debates are present, and no monolithic ideology dominates the social tapestry depicted in the show.
