In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Bugs" is solidly non-woke, focused on entertaining spy action without shoehorning in 21st-century ideological concerns. If you’re nostalgic for straightforward, apolitical adventure TV, this one’s about as safe as you can get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Bugs" keeps its focus on adventure, spy gadgets, and high-tech heists rather than using forced identity-driven narratives. Characters are cast more for their archetypal roles and skills than to make an ideological point. It's refreshingly straightforward.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely avoids undermining traditional values. Masculinity, teamwork, and even occasional nods to family and loyalty are presented with little sarcasm or posturing. There’s no overt agenda to rewrite cultural norms or traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show steers clear of pushing modern ideological talking points, it doesn’t make a particular effort to platform alternative perspectives either. Any lack of ideological variety is due to standard 90s storytelling, not deliberate exclusion.
