What We Think

A generally woke urban fantasy, ‘Midnight, Texas’ overlays its supernatural drama with heavy helpings of diversity and progressive touchstones. While not the wokest show out there, it’s definitely more about the modern social vibe than showcasing gritty Texas realism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show features a diverse collection of characters, vampires, witches, angels, psychics, some of whom seem chosen more for their identity mix than their connection to the small-town Texas setting. While not every character is a checklist, identity does appear to sometimes overshadow realism or depth in their arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

‘Midnight, Texas’ subverts traditional family structures and cultural values with its diverse, supernatural community. Classic Texan small-town life is reimagined, and themes like sexuality and non-traditional relationships are emphasized. Traditional masculinity is often sidelined in favor of new-age, mystical forms of power.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s little room for truly diverse viewpoints, classic small-town or traditional values are mostly sidelined or represented by antagonists or caricatures. The main cast largely shares progressive attitudes about gender, sexuality, and inclusion, and dissenting perspectives are missing or simplified.
