Bluey Gives Us a Sign
The latest episode of the beloved children’s series could be its first misstep. Or a perfect ending.
If “The Sign” is just a lark — a big, exciting, quadruple-length wedding episode that nevertheless allows the show to continue as it has been — its oddly unrealistic ending is disappointing to the point of frustration, a departure from Bluey ’s usual ease in navigating complex emotions. “The Sign” raises the concept of financial burden, something the show has rarely touched on in the past, then allows Bandit and Chili to opt out of choosing “a better life” for Bluey and Bingo without dealing with the weight or consequences of that decision. So it may be that “The Sign” is instead a meaningful transition, a way to create a break from Bluey ’s current status quo— with or without an additional feature-length film, as the producers have hinted — which would allow it to return with new main characters that could keep the show with a preschool and early-elementary-age viewership.
