Just okay
No white men here. I will let it slide, since there are only 4 characters, so we should not expect a representative sample.
Vague spoilers follow.
The director/writer said in interviews that the film aspires to be scientifically accurate. Many reviews on IMDB point to logic or science errors that don't actually exist, like they think centrifugal force would not create a simulated gravity effect, LOL. Also, some viewers missed the fact that an oxygen tank was leaking, which then explains a crewman's actions. One thing I wonder: should a solar storm be visible, as it was in the film? Usually not, but here the solar storm is interacting with a spinning spaceship that is magnetized by the solar radiation, and I cannot be certain what would happen. The movie's biggest implausibility is the lack of redundancy for a critical system on the spaceship. There is also the issue of how a stowaway went unnoticed, but at least there we are more free to imagine it could happen somehow.
Alas, the movie is dull. The situation is interesting, but I feel the director only scratched the surface of the character dynamics.
Still, it could have been worse. At least it steers clear of many things I dislike in other movies, like excessive action, Hollywood tropes, and one dimensional villains. So, it's watchable.

Too creepy for the DEI crowd. They may cry.
I didn't pay much attention to any agenda Stopmotion may have and, at first, I kind of discounted this movie as a throwaway indie type of movie. The plot is kind of thin and gets a bit artsy and vague at the end, but the animations and acting are done well and creepy.
I read a few spoilers about the film and changed my mind. Not that the giant, pink elephant in the plot needed a spoiler. I'm not an idiot. Just needed clarification on a few details. So, it's a good film. Some body horror. Cronenberg would appreciate it. Check it out.

Changed my mind. Not full of gay miners.
Amber Midthunder runs around calling white people racist and trying to get her land back. That's about as preachy as it gets. She is a Native American actress, so good for her. Actually, I watched this before and thought that I turned it off because there were a bunch of gay miners trapped, but I think that was a different movie. There's so many movies with that going on, I sometimes forget.
It's a fun, wintery cold movie. CGI extreme, but what can we do about that? I recommend it. It's good.

So woke I walked out halfway and refunded my ticket
It's smashing all the gender stereotypes! The strong independent gun of an FBI agent random black woman one. Who has a drinking problem and the same personality as a bloke from an 80s cop movie.
She has to briefly check in with her FBI partner while being the workaholic that she is. When he answers the phone of course he's nursing a baby because this movie is smashing down those gender stereotypes!!
The current beekeeper is brought in to try to reign in an out of control Jason Statham. Of course, she's another black woman? that looks like she is on break from a school drag show.
I walked out and refunded my ticket. This was one of the wokest movies I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing.
Do not see this movie. Even for Statham.

Woke themes and characters.
Girly Boss that turns from a princess to a dragon slayer in one day, but hold on the dragon is female. No need to kill the dragon, it's a victim of the patriarchy. Let's join forces and kill all the innocent people. Don't forget some PoC who are completely out of place. And men are stupid and bad.
All those spoiler were mentioned in the trailer, so don't get mad at me.

Titty chick flick
This comedy-drama is neither a comedy nor a drama. It goes tits up.
When a major tragedy occurs, it should be devastating to both the characters and the audience, but it gets quickly passed over here. The comedy is also weak, possibly a bit "lost in translation" for Americans watching this British film.
One of the male characters admits to being gay ("I have other inclinations"), to which Mrs. Henderson replies, "Oh, how delicious!" This is not a realistic reaction in 1940 or even today.
I found Mrs. Henderson utterly intolerable and unrealistic. The director pulls strings to elicit feelings in the audience about this unrelatable character, and these are not the emotions I experienced. For me, the "fourth wall" fell and with it went any movie magic.
I suspect women may like this movie a lot more, as they tend to want a "feel good" movie, so may be less adverse to being emotionally puppeteered in that direction. My wife gives it a 5/5, argh!
One 10/10 IMDB male reviewer said he was an American soldier in WWII and went to that theater (er, theatre?) and it was exactly like in the movie! Wow! Not many movies can claim such historical accuracy. Respekt.
Kelly Reilly is the star of the theater show. She plays Beth Dutton on Yellowstone, and I never knew she was a Brit, LOL.
Your mileage may vary, depending on how critical your viewing is. Some will love it. I did not.

The Tourist
A quirky plotline and stark Aussie scenery make the first season watchable. Didn't get past that, though.
Wokies will be pleased by Hollywood's usual over-representation of blacks (plus grossly obese females as a bonus) among the cast.
And yes, the white male roles have a monopoly on stupidity and evil.

Starts off groundbreaking but later weakens its grip
Supernatural begins in a way that would be groundbreaking today. It has 2 white heterosexual young brothers with unabashed masculinity born into a family legacy of fighting the supernatural and travel the country doing so. They live the life of warriors and along the way flirt with romance, tragedy, humor and extreme PTSD..
The show always had a diversity of characters (minorities, women, gays) but it felt very natural in the first 3rd to 2/3rds of the show.
After that bad writing and a caving to certain niche fans begin to seep in. There was even a demand to throw characterization out the window and make one of the brothers turn gay. Fortunately the creators didn't cave to that one but threw them a bone by making an angel gay and secretly pining for the brother.
They also begin to cave to the notion that masculinity and toxic masculinity are the same thing and started tossing in young female fighters in an unnatural way.
They also steered away from the brothers and any romantic entanglements because some young fans got jealous and hated on the actresses.
The writing became more and more simplestic and all mystery was eliminated, villians neutered and characters more and more behaving out of character.
These different aspects they suddenly felt compelled to include contributed to the downward spiral of the writing. And then again, 15 years is a long time. Almost a lifetime from young men to knocking on middle age.
Everyone has different opinions but I found it underrated for s2-5. It became a prime show during these years with its blend of tragedy and humor and outstanding characterization . Season 1 was set up.
Season 6 through maybe 12 was still sometimes brilliant but other times
mediocre and tedious.
Seasons 13-15 are nearly unwatchable for me. No magic exists any longer.

A vacuous, feminist girl power fantasy that falls into droll idiocy
Poor Things runs the gamut of coming of age story to borderline pedophilia apologetics. While I cannot recommend watching this film, it's director Yorgos Lanthimos has done a lot with the source material. Poor Things is a film version of the same-named first book of the series that tells the story of our protagonist Bella (Emma Stone) from the prospective of Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef). Somehow the film manages to promote post-modern fifth wave feminism beliefs through anatavistic fetishism of the female body, Poor Things' cinematography for the entire film could be less charitably viewed as an exploration of The Male Gaze.
The first two acts are quite entertaining and light hearted. We slowly learn the horror of Bella's existence and origin story, the proverbial God (Willem Dafoe) and his inhuman experiments on the recently dead. In twenty minutes, Bella grows from infant to teenager, from catching a ball to catching venereal diseases. At it's core, Poor Things is a feminist power fantasy with quite a bit of character development along with a spectacular Victorian steampunk backdrop.
As Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo) to explore the greater world, the film goes into a blender of original, inspired story telling and post-modern male hating effigy burning. The line running through the second half of the film can best be summarized as: the only way a woman can find happiness and freedom in this world is by selling her body for money and be happily alone ever after. Bella is naked for about a quarter of the movie with graphic sex scenes and various sundry along the same lines. She cultivates a clinical appreciation for sexual appetites during the final act of the film, but the dissonant tone is as conflicted with reality as the texture of the scenery is absurd.
Yorgos did a fantastic job of making this degenerate drivel into a fun and entertaining film, but I cannot recommend it for casual viewing.
6.5 out of 10 anonymous johns who knock your teeth out for fun.

Retarded
After 2 episodes, I have to give this the gong on the basis of 3 offenses:
1. The producers are woke. The show is not terribly woke so far, but the mission control staff is DEI. Admittedly, the science manager is an old white guy, but he had to be an old white guy, because the character is evil and this is an Apple production. The forecast is for gay, lots and lots of gay by season 2.
2. The writers are retarded. In their retarded world, a crippled ISS will run out of breathable air within seconds after the solar panels stop receiving sunlight. In reality, the ISS encloses a volume of 1,000 cubic meters of air. A single person would not even get a headache breathing this same air for a couple of days. True, there had been a decompression and perhaps subsequently the crew area was at low pressure, but the situation should not instantly change each time the Sun goes down. That's not all. The astronauts behave in retarded ways, not because astronauts are retarded but because the writers are.
3. The writers are "lost". A science experiment on the ISS causes the quantum multiverse to warp reality for those who observed the experiment. So, weird shit happens. I am personally oversaturated with weird shit entertainment: Lost, From, Event Horizon, Solaris, The Shift, Colony, and The Expanse. I love some of those, but I'm a bit burned out on this general theme. More importantly, I do not trust Constellation's retarded writers to do anything but keep adding weird shit without a satisfying resolution.
On a positive note, it's breathtakingly beautifully filmed. Alas, the writers certainly weren't hired on the basis on merit. This why we can't have nice shows.

How did this series happen?
Yes, the blacks in the film are all positive characters. Failure and stupidity, as always, are owned by white males. How else could the series appear on Netflix?
But this aside, the series is genuinely funny and difficult not to binge watch.

Worth watching
Underachieving white girl from well-to-do British family apparently sees black men as sexy above all others. And wants us to know it.
But she's otherwise quite often funny.
