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

Fellow Travelers scores high on the woke scale, with heavy hand-wringing over identity, substantial cultural revisionism, and a distinct lack of ideological diversity. If you’re looking for a nuanced depiction of conflicting viewpoints, you may find it all a bit predictably one-sided.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show foregrounds sexuality and identity as central to character arcs, sometimes sidelining deeper story elements or nuance. It appears that representation is prioritized over organic dramatic tension, and many characters feel depicted more as ideological symbols than as multi-dimensional people.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Fellow Travelers often frames traditional values, especially around family, religion, and morality, in a negative or outdated light. Masculinity in the era is consistently critiqued, and religious institutions are shown mostly as sources of repression. Some may interpret this as a strong revisionist take on postwar culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, the show emphasizes a narrow, modern ideological perspective. Traditional viewpoints are largely villainized or used as plot obstacles. There's little genuine debate or pluralism, as the moral worldview is broadly shared among the protagonists and 'approved' supporting characters.
