Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The Exorcist (2016) offers some identity-focused subplots, including a female priest in training, but generally prioritizes horror atmosphere and character-driven storytelling over overt ideological messages. The characters, regardless of background, face real consequences and human flaws, which maintains a sense of narrative believability.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show modernizes certain themes, it remains fundamentally rooted in the Catholic faith and takes religion, family, and morality seriously. It doesn't outright mock tradition, instead portraying religious practice and clergy with respect, even while updating the context for a new era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Some contemporary moral outlooks are present, but there isn't a strong push to villainize or caricature traditional viewpoints; religious skeptics and believers alike are explored. There are moments of mild ideological consensus, but plenty of internal debate and pluralism.
