What We Think

Scream: The TV Series dips its toe into woke territory with its representation and some modern moral spins, but it doesn't go fully off the deep end. It's more an updated slasher than a soapbox.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show features some diverse casting and includes characters whose identities are highlighted (notably in sexuality and race). However, it largely centers around established horror tropes and gives these characters arcs and flaws, so it doesn't completely sacrifice narrative for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and small-town culture get a bit of a cynical reimagining, but it's mostly standard horror fare. Masculinity isn’t particularly undermined, yet there’s a modern edge poking at older values without outright vilifying them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While there’s a clear lean toward trendy social perspectives, dissenting or traditional voices aren't excessively mocked or villainized. There’s some ideological slant, but not enough to erase all pluralism or debate.
