What We Think

Helluva Boss embraces identity politics, irreverently lampoons tradition, and rarely offers balance to modern ideological themes. For those wary of overtly woke storytelling, this show is unlikely to provide much relief.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Helluva Boss frequently highlights character identities (such as sexual orientation) in ways that, to some viewers, feel more performative than integral to story. While the sharp humor and character-driven plots remain engaging, occasional identity-focused storytelling sometimes overshadows deeper character growth and development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show satirizes traditional morality, family, and even religion, presenting them as flawed or irrelevant in its hellish setting. Masculinity is often lampooned, and non-traditional relationships are centered and normalized. Classic norms are almost always the punchline, rarely respected or treated seriously.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional perspectives and dissenting viewpoints are largely presented through caricature or villainous characters. The show’s main cast shares a notably modern attitude toward identity, relationships, and social norms, with limited debate or genuine alternative viewpoints portrayed.
