What We Think

Lodge 49 is a rare modern show that celebrates oddballs without forcing modern ideological trends. Its charm comes from real characters and grounded stories, not political posturing. If you’re looking for something refreshingly non-woke, this sunny satire fits the bill.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Lodge 49 prioritizes quirky, flawed characters and down-to-earth slice-of-life storytelling over any overt identity-based casting or messaging. The writing focuses on people and relationships, not ticking boxes or promoting ideological points, making it quite non-woke in this category.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show gently questions modern life, it largely avoids demonizing family, religion, or traditional roles. Masculine and feminine traits are depicted without ridicule, and the story respects classic American motifs like brotherhood and community even as it takes a satirical lean.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a healthy mix of eccentric, earnest, cynical, traditional, and unconventional characters. The show allows space for multiple points of view and doesn’t overtly preach or villainize traditional perspectives. Pluralism and ambiguity abound.
