What We Think

Impastor is far from today’s woke-heavy comedies. It's more interested in irreverence and laughs than pushing an ideological agenda. Identity themes are present but never dominant, and the show satirizes everyone equally. Non-woke viewers will likely see it as a breath of fresh air compared to more recent fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Impastor mainly focuses on its comedic premise, a troubled man pretending to be a gay pastor for his own gain. Characters are there for laughs, not ideological box-checking. Identity is part of the story, but it doesn’t overwhelm character development or comedic intent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show pokes fun at religion and small-town life, it doesn’t come off as a lecture or moral indictment. Religion, family, and traditional values are satirized for comedy, not actively torn down. Masculinity is depicted in a flawed but relatable way, with no heavy-handed shaming.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Impastor acknowledges differing perspectives. The lead’s criminal behavior and fake identity are played for laughs rather than used to villainize mainstream values. The world isn’t ideologically uniform, faith, skepticism, and other outlooks are represented, sometimes with tongue-in-cheek exaggeration.
