In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Point Pleasant is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. Its supernatural drama is more interested in timeless battles of good and evil than in enforcing ideological conformity or subverting tradition. Don’t expect any box-ticking; this one keeps its focus sharp.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Point Pleasant mostly tells its supernatural story without prioritizing modern ideological themes. Character arcs focus on personality and plot, not on identity politics or forced diversity. There’s little evidence that casting or character emphasis was dictated by checking boxes rather than serving narrative needs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show deals with religious and moral themes, depicting the eternal struggle of good versus evil, it doesn’t appear to mock or undermine traditional values. Faith, morality, and family are used as dramatic elements rather than targets for subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are actually engaged seriously as characters wrestle with faith, destiny, and morality. The show doesn’t paint traditional perspectives as one-dimensional or villainous, offering more moral complexity than typical 'woke' fare.
