What We Think

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. is a fun, genre-savvy Western that avoids modern woke trends. Instead, it delivers old-fashioned adventure, traditional heroism, and genuine character arcs, an almost endangered species in today’s Hollywood landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely prioritizes straightforward adventure over identity politics. Characters are defined by their actions and personalities rather than modern concepts of diversity. Casting appears appropriate for the Western setting. In our view, it’s refreshingly uninterested in signaling or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Brisco County, Jr.’ presents traditional values and roles without mockery. Masculinity, family, and old-school heroism are depicted positively; religion and folklore are respected parts of the frontier. There’s little evidence of modern subversion or revisionism here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is mainly a love letter to classic Westerns, and while it sticks to familiar American values, dissenting perspectives aren’t villainized, mostly because they’re not a focus. It’s content to revel in its genre without posturing or caricatured social commentary.
