What We Think

Bridge and Tunnel is a rare bird these days: it relies on nostalgia, traditional character arcs, and avoids stuffing the story with modern ideological talking points. Almost non-woke by today's standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on a group of friends in 1980s Long Island, with characters developed through personal stories rather than modern identity politics. Casting and plotlines appear grounded, with minimal emphasis on shoehorning identity traits over genuine growth or relationships.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, romance, ambition, and traditional values are central throughout, and there's little attempt to undermine masculinity, faith, or established cultural norms. Instead, it pays homage to classic coming-of-age dynamics, making it feel refreshingly non-woke.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While there is some period-appropriate drama, the show mostly avoids mocking or villainizing traditional viewpoints. There’s room for disagreement among characters, and the show doesn't push a singular ideological narrative.
