What We Think

Ghoul is a strong example of a highly woke show: it prioritizes ideological themes over narrative richness and character complexity, reinterprets traditional values with a relentlessly critical lens, and leaves little space for genuine ideological variety. If you’re looking for something that resists the current wave of wokeness, this isn’t it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show puts a noticeable emphasis on social and political themes, particularly around identity, authority, and power. Some characters feel crafted to deliver ideological messages over organic development. Viewers might find character motivations take a backseat to the broader commentary, which can weaken the story’s immersion and emotional depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like religion and patriotism are largely depicted as oppressive, misguided, or dangerous. The show tends to subvert established cultural elements in favor of critiquing them, leaning heavily into revisionist territory. Masculinity and faith institutions, in particular, are painted in a rather negative light throughout the series.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially those less critical of authority or tradition, are mostly absent or villainized. Almost all sympathetic characters embrace a singular moral framework, leaving little room for debate or real ideological diversity. Dissent comes dressed in extreme caricature, making internal plurality nearly nonexistent.
