Surprisingly, for a recent network drama, 'God Friended Me' doesn’t go full throttle on the woke meter. While not flawless, it resists most of the narrative and ideological traps common in today’s TV landscape, making it a relatively non-woke offering by modern standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show does bring in some modern identity themes and features a diverse cast, but it generally maintains an emphasis on character growth, faith, and genuine relationships. Identity rarely overshadows story or character development, keeping ideological interruptions mostly in check.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Instead of attacking faith and family, the narrative centers on religious themes, grappling with belief, doubt, and the impact of faith in modern life. Traditional values aren’t undermined, if anything, they’re explored and often respected, bucking some Hollywood trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the show leans toward a secular urban perspective and sometimes offers predictable takes on social issues, it tries to portray opposing views, faithful, skeptical, and spiritual, with more respect and nuance than is typical nowadays.
