What We Think

Absurdist, chaotic, and irreverent toward all sides, 'The Heart, She Holler' is far more anti-structure than 'woke.' It satirizes just about everything without an obvious ideological axe to grind. Not much to see here for the culture warriors!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Although "The Heart, She Holler" is a surreal and often grotesque satire, it doesn’t prioritize modern ideological talking points over its bizarre, original narrative. Character identities are exaggerated more for absurdist comedy than for forced representation, so narrative integrity remains mostly intact, despite the chaos.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show gleefully mocks many Southern and American cultural elements, but it’s more equal-opportunity in its lampooning than a direct attack on religion, tradition, or gender roles. It’s raucous, but not preachy. The shocking content is mostly for shock’s sake, not modern revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This series doesn’t seem to push a coherent modern ideological agenda, if anything, it lampoons everyone and everything. Traditional viewpoints are mocked, but so are non-traditional ones. There’s no clear ideological monoculture; just a parade of grotesque absurdity.
