What We Think

The Gates is a refreshing relic of pre-woke TV, focused on supernatural intrigue over modern social agendas. It almost feels like a time capsule of simpler entertainment, with little evidence of forced identity politics or ideological monoculture sneaking into the plot.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Gates sticks to a straightforward supernatural drama format without shoehorning in modern identity politics language or prioritizing diversity over plot and character dynamics. Casting and character arcs reflect the genre rather than contemporary social agendas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures, morality, and even religious undertones are baked into the narrative. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in conventional, genre-specific ways without excessive subversion or mockery of traditional roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show mainly presents conventional worldviews, it leaves room for moral ambiguity and conflicting perspectives among its cast, steering clear of overt ideological preaching or villainization of traditional viewpoints.
