Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Wicked Tuna” sticks firmly to showcasing the authentic lives of fishermen without injecting identity politics or forced representation. The focus is squarely on the skill, competition, and daily struggles of the job, with characters chosen for their roles, not for checking any ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series celebrates family-run businesses, traditional masculinity, teamwork, and a strong work ethic. Religion, family, and core values are respected, and main characters proudly embody these traits without irony or subversion. There’s no glimpse of cultural revisionism here, just New England toughness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't really a focus, but the show doesn't villainize any group, it's apolitical. It doesn’t push modern ideological talking points, and everyone’s united by their love of fishing, not by ideology. There’s no mocking of traditional lifestyles or diversity dogma.
