What We Think

"Portals to Hell" is about as non-woke as it gets for modern TV. It keeps its focus on the ghost-hunting genre, steering clear of diversity quotas, ideological preaching, or cultural revisionism. If you’re tired of agenda-driven shows, this one stays refreshingly out of that lane.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Portals to Hell" sticks to its paranormal investigation premise. Characters are chosen for their roles as investigators, not to check diversity boxes. The focus is on alleged supernatural occurrences, with little emphasis on identity politics or forced representation. It appears largely merit-based and story-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is more concerned with ghosts and hauntings than subverting religion, family, or masculinity. While it sometimes references folklore and spiritual beliefs, these are explored for entertainment rather than to undermine tradition or push obvious modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture here. The show features skeptical and believing perspectives, and doesn’t use the paranormal format to push political messages or mock traditional views. It’s mostly about the thrills, not the sermons.
