Wokeness Rating: 4.5/5

Feminism Rating: 4/5

ChickFlick Rating: 0.5/5

Commentary: A modern gothic horror that skewers corporate greed and a ruthless pharmaceutical empire, with clear anti-capitalist/class-critique undertones. Diverse ensemble with notable LGBTQ+ representation and anti-patriarchal notes. Multiple complex, powerful women drive the narrative (executives, strategists, antagonists), though the show isn’t expressly didactic about feminism. Minimal romance and no ‘feel-good’ tone—this is not a chick-flick; it’s bleak, satirical, and horror-forward.
