What We Think

For a modern streaming show, “Paranormal” is surprisingly non-woke. It opts for genuine storytelling and respectful cultural representation instead of box-ticking or virtue signaling. It’s a rare case where narrative takes priority over ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

"Paranormal" keeps its focus on the central character’s journey and leans heavily on personality and plot over any overt ideological points. Diversity and identity themes are mostly natural, without characters existing solely to check boxes. Identity does not overshadow narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show’s setting in 1960s Egypt means it retains much of its cultural and historical context. Religion, family, and tradition are present and not mocked or subverted, lending authenticity. No aggressive revisionism or modern lectures present themselves.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little in the way of sermonizing or monoculture. Alternative views, skepticism, and questioning are major plot points. Traditional views are shown respectfully, and characters engage with different perspectives without lecturing the audience.
