Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on real-life tow truck drivers facing harrowing conditions. Identity politics are virtually nonexistent, with an emphasis on teamwork, skill, and genuine expertise. Narrative centers on the realities of the occupation, not box-checking for diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Highway Thru Hell highlights hard work, perseverance, traditional masculinity, and family values. There’s no evidence of undermining religion, family, or classic morality; instead, these values are subtly celebrated through the character's everyday grit and camaraderie.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show stays well within traditional blue-collar Canadian values, but everyone depicted is sincere, and there’s no overt ideological messaging. There's some uniformity simply because of the setting, but no mocking or villainization of alternative views.
