In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"A Haunting" keeps its focus on spooky tales, not woke checklists. If anything, it clings to classic values when the chips are down. Hardly a woke showcase!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"A Haunting" focuses on recounting supposed supernatural experiences with an emphasis on suspense and paranormal storytelling, rather than pushing identity politics. Main characters are typically families or individuals whose backgrounds serve the story, not the other way around. There's no focus on forced representation or ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show regularly references traditional beliefs, faith, family, even Christianity, as sources of hope or defense against evil. Masculinity, femininity, and family dynamics largely reflect classic norms. Some might say it even takes these foundations quite seriously, especially compared to modern fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives exist in the sense that skeptics occasionally appear, and not every story leans heavily on religious explanations. It doesn't openly mock or villainize traditional values, rather, it upholds them. Ideological diversity isn't really challenged because the topic prioritizes supernatural suspense over culture wars.
