What We Think

Call of the Night is remarkably non-woke by current entertainment standards. It’s more occupied with mood, style, and character-driven fun than promoting modern ideological talking points. Traditional viewers will likely find little to roll their eyes at here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Call of the Night feels refreshingly focused on storytelling and character development rather than modern identity politics. Casting and characterization are driven by the plot rather than shoehorned diversity or topical issues. There's no excessive emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality over personality or role – it's mostly about adolescent angst and supernatural romance.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show explores themes of loneliness, desire, and personal growth but doesn’t take unnecessary shots at traditional values like family or masculinity. While it’s not promoting conservative ideals, it isn’t actively undermining them either. The gender roles fit fairly naturally within the story’s context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no prevailing ideological agenda; the focus is on the individual characters and their personal dilemmas. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked, and the narrative doesn’t force a particular worldview or caricature dissent.
