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

"The Trip" is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to character-driven humor and traditional cultural touchstones. It’s a welcome escape from the identity-first storytelling so common today.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Trip" focuses on the personal dynamics and humor between two men on a restaurant tour. Characterization is based on personality, wit, and chemistry rather than identity politics. No signs of forced diversity or ideology intrusive to storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like friendship, banter, and British culture are front and center. Masculinity is presented playfully but not mocked or pathologized. There's little cultural or religious revisionism. It’s a celebration of dry humor and classic sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show does mostly stick to the main characters’ worldview, it doesn’t villainize alternative perspectives or force modern ideological conformity. The humor is apolitical, relying on personal quirks, not caricatured social commentary.
