What We Think

Tru Calling holds up as a product of its time with minimal woke signaling by today’s standards. The female lead is competent and relatable without preachiness. Traditional values and pluralism remain intact, earning this show a low woke score.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Tru Calling centers on a female lead, but her abilities and arc revolve around the supernatural, not identity politics. The show’s diverse casting isn’t forced and characters are largely developed on merit and personal growth, not just identity checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family bonds (Tru’s relationship with her brother and sister) and the struggle between good and evil play major roles. Masculinity isn’t pathologized, and traditional values aren’t consistently undermined. Cultural revisionism is minimal or nonexistent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show focuses on empathy and moral choices, it doesn’t villainize traditional views or enforce a rigid ideological echo chamber. Diverse perspectives appear, and no group is simply caricatured for disagreement.
