What We Think

Helluva Boss wears its wokeness on its sleeve, emphasizing modern identity tropes and gleefully mocking tradition. While it has creative flair, it rarely offers space for non-woke ideas or classic values, earning a high woke score overall.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Helluva Boss leans into exaggerated character identities and edgy humor, sometimes emphasizing sexuality or nontraditional relationships over deeper story arcs. While it maintains some genuine character development, the show often highlights identity for its own sake. Some viewers may find this detracts from narrative depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently mocks traditional morality, authority, and religion, after all, it’s set in Hell. Family dynamics are lampooned, and masculine characters are often portrayed as bumbling or inept. Scenes consistently undermine long-standing values for the sake of irreverence.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s little room for non-modern or traditional perspectives; most worldviews outside the show’s edgy progressive stance are played for laughs or as over-the-top villainy. Sincere alternative viewpoints rarely appear and are not treated with nuance.
