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

"New Neighbors" lands on the moderately woke side, often prioritizing social messaging over balanced storytelling. While it tackles relevant issues, it sometimes does so at the expense of narrative depth and fair depiction of traditional views.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"New Neighbors" features an interracial couple moving into a predominantly white suburb, and the story frequently makes identity a focal point. While some tension is organic, certain situations and dialogue seem crafted more for commentary than genuine narrative development. Character depth sometimes takes a backseat to messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show grapples with themes of family, tradition, and tolerance, but it often paints traditional perspectives as outdated or needing correction. Masculine roles tend to be presented as out-of-touch, while alternative viewpoints are celebrated almost universally.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially from more traditional characters, are frequently exaggerated or mocked. Nuanced representation of dissent is lacking, and the show's moral assumptions generally align with modern progressive ideals, leaving little room for real debate.
