The Imperfects
tv·TV-MA·Sep 8, 2022·
The Imperfects earns a moderate 6/10 wokeness score for its diverse LGBTQ+ casting (e.g., asexual queer lead) and inclusion subplots amid eugenics themes, but prioritizes sci-fi horror, powers, and revenge over lectures.
"The Imperfects" is a sci-fi horror series following mutated twenty-somethings—including South Asian asexual queer genetics student Abbi Singh, Latino chupacabra-shifter Juan Ruiz, and white banshee Tilda Weber—as they hunt their unethical gene-therapist creator amid themes of eugenics and monstrosity.
Season 1 integrates noticeable progressive elements through deliberate diverse casting prioritizing LGBTQ+ representation (e.g., Abbi's overt asexuality and queer romantic subplot, a non-binary antagonist) and creator intent for broader inclusion, influencing character arcs and dynamics as subplots. Its overall woke score of 6/10 reflects significant ideological embedding via layered identities without making them the core driver or resorting to overt lectures, keeping the focus on powers, revenge, and horror.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
