What We Think

The Strange Calls is a refreshingly non-woke series that leans into classic oddball comedy rather than modern ideological messaging. Fans of traditional storytelling and offbeat humor will find little to gripe about in terms of wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Strange Calls focuses on quirky, paranormal events in a small Australian town. The characters seem grounded, chosen for their comedic dynamic and not for checking diversity boxes. There's no evidence of the story compromising itself to make obvious ideological points or prioritizing identity over character.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show leans heavily on small-town charm and eccentric Australian culture, poking fun more than preaching. Masculinity and tradition are depicted as odd but affectionate, not maliciously undermined. No finger-wagging about religion or family values, just offbeat humor.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are respectfully present, if a bit eccentric. The show’s humor comes from character oddities, not belittling traditional viewpoints. There’s no sign of a monochrome worldview or strawman caricatures of dissent.
