What We Think

While "Strange Angel" flirts with some challenging themes and non-traditional ideas, it remains more interested in weird history than woke ideology. Its score stays relatively low due to focus on character, weirdness, and era authenticity, rather than preachy messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

"Strange Angel" maintains narrative focus on Jack Parsons' unique story, with characters’ identities fitting organic roles rather than feeling shoehorned. There isn’t much evidence of identity politics or forced representation getting in the way of the story’s flow.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show does portray unconventional religious and occult practices, often in a provocative light, and skirts traditional family and moral values a bit. However, it’s more about exploring the historical subculture than simply undermining cultural foundations; it’s not purely agenda-driven.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are central to the narrative, after all, the protagonist explores both science and the occult. While mainstream perspectives take a back seat, the show doesn't simply villainize them, and internal conflicts are explored with nuance.
