What We Think

For those keeping an eye out for wokeness, Helluva Boss delivers a high dose. Its subversion of traditional norms and unapologetic focus on modern identity themes make it one of the wokest cartoons out there, certainly not shy about pushing an ideological envelope.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show often prioritizes representation and alternative identities over more traditional character arcs or skills, sometimes making identity central to a character’s appeal. While the narrative tries to be engaging, it occasionally feels like messaging takes precedence over nuance or realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Helluva Boss gleefully subverts just about every traditional value in the book: family dynamics, morality, religion, you name it. Classic structures are mostly objects of satire or open mockery, and traditional masculinity is often a punchline, rather than a virtue.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or more traditional perspectives are virtually non-existent or only exist to be lampooned. The dominant worldview aligns firmly with modern progressive values, leaving little room for sincere viewpoint diversity or debate among characters.
