Yes, it is woke. It was made with the “help” of Irish, British, and Spanish taxpayer money.

As if poor little HBO at Warner Discovery needed public funding to afford a series. Good joke! tell me another one.

But is it good quality? Not really. Since it’s woke as hell, the “good” men are stereotyped as dumb, weak, and easily manipulated, while the smart or powerful men are portrayed as the bad ones.

On top of that, and this was mentioned in the other comment, which ties in perfectly, forced diversity is obvious. That alone wouldn’t be the main issue, but they also gave characters different accents, making them hard to understand, supposedly for “period authenticity,” while at the same time pushing forced diversity, which completely breaks that excuse.

ℹ UPDATE ℹ
Alright, to be fair, I watched the whole thing and I’ll give it two extra points on quality. Yeah, it’s got the stuff I mentioned before, but the cinematography’s pretty solid. And if you can put up with the woke bits, it’s a fun watch.

At least three seasons did not have woke, and were entertaining.

This is an extremely well-written and absorbing TV series if you like a middle ages setting that has lots of intrigue and good storytelling.

It's not family friendly because of all the sex and violence. I stopped watching after the third season because the violence was too much for me. But I saw no wokeness being pushed during that time, just lots of R-rated material that would be difficult to explain to children.

As everyone knows, seasons 7 and 8 wrapped up the series with very disappointing storytelling, and ruined the whole show for many. (I was long gone by then.)

Watched this long ago, it was only mild woke

I watched this years ago, and I remember guessing that the bad guy would NOT turn out to be the middle eastern man people were worried about (and I think the second season was around 2001-2002). The pretty blond female was the second season main villain, surprise surprise.

It was an exciting, innovative series, and not ultra woke like today's Hollywood.

Classic 80's slasher. The acting isn't the greatest, but if your a horror fan it is a lot of fun. Some pretty decent kills and if you find the uncut version there is some great blood and gore FX for the time, even if you can only find the heavily cut R version it's still better than average slasher for it's time. The story is nothing too original but it serves it's purpose.

Mission Improbable The Final Wokening

Finally got around to watching this. What happened to this franchise? I sat down to watch this nearly 3hr long bloated mess of a movie and made it to the 1 hour mark and had to stop. I tried again the next day and just couldn't take it so I skipped forward through the rest of it to see how it all ended. For a franchise known for it's big over the top action scenes there is surprisingly little action in this. The entire first 60-80 minutes is literally nothing but flashbacks to previous movies and exposition dumps of characters trying to explain this convoluted plot. The actual movie doesn't really start until around 80 minutes or so. There are plot holes galore and writing inconsistencies. Cruise is just looking way to old, bloated and badly botoxed to be believable in this role anymore. There are strange camera angles, jarring scene transitions and conversations from 2 scenes (sometimes one of them is a flashback) taking place at the same time cut together that are so confusing it's hard to follow. You could make a drinking game out of how many times they say 'The Entity'. Speaking of which who came up with that horrible name for an AI program? Then there is the woke. There are plenty of other reviews on here pointing it out, and it's all there. Way over the top DEI casting, all power and leadership positions are minorities and or female. The usual tiny females easily manhandling trained much larger men. There was at least one bulging steroided out he/she/it thing in one eye bleeding scene. White men are of course bad. If you must watch it you can pretty much skip the first hour or at least fast forward through most of it.

Based on a true story and from what little I could find seems to be fairly accurate. Takes place in 1969 and is about Audrey Evans who developed cancer research and co founded the Ronald McDonald house. The acting is pretty good and the everything looks like it's in the time period. The story is interesting and what she was able to accomplish is incredible. The character is unfortunately not portrayed in a very likable manner, though it may be true. She is very reckless, self centered and sometimes just annoying. Everything is always me, me, me and I should get whatever I want regardless of how it affects others or if it's even legal or ethical in some cases. The end results are a good thing but the way she went about it is terrible. At one point she literally cost other departments at the hospital roughly 650,000 in funding just so she could get 350,000 for herself. The description for the movie claims she fought sexism to accomplish what she did except there is no actual sexism on display other than that women couldn't get a mortgage without a man signing in 1969. All the men who are mad at her and dislike her not because she's a woman but because of the way she acts and her selfish do whatever I want nature. I originally was going to mention the large black representation as woke however a quick search shows the black population of Philadelphia where this took place in 1969 was actually 34% so maybe not unrealistic after all. I'm still giving it a woke score for pushing fake sexism even in just the description.

Standard ITV Woke

Contains spoilers

Female to male digs throughout.
Men apologise for what they shouldn’t, women don’t apologise for what they should.
Pathetic males. Lead women are not strong, they’re ‘boss babes’.
Who pieced it all together? The disabled, morbidly obese woman who disrespects her male superiors. She found out by reading a tabloid headline, something which her more able colleagues apparently weren’t capable of.

Nothing woke in this. Excellent HBO miniseries depicting soldiers in WWII in the Pacific. I'm no history expert so I can't speak to it's accuracy. Very dark, violent and graphic but realistic look at war, not for the squeamish. The only negative I can give this is the odd choice of Episode 3. The entire episode is spent on leave in Australia and while there is a few minor moments moments that affect some of the soldiers it generally comes across as out of place and almost pointless and entirely skippable. Otherwise I would say give this a watch if you can take the violence, blood and gore.

Pretty good horror action movie from 2012 but not without it's flaws. Half of the acting is good but there are some notable bad ones as well and there is some minor writing problems. There is buckets of blood and gore and all the FX are very well done. The story is good but I feel like I've seen something very similar to this before, though it's possible I might have actually just watched this already. While Evans is great in the role I feel like the villain is a little too invincible and able to pull off a bit too much. There is a very small amount of the girl power stuff in here but it's not too bad and I don't think it's worth giving it a woke score over. Surprised this never got a sequel as there is some potential to build on.

Outstanding Holocaust remembrance series

Given how delicate and controversial this subject is, both in the film industry and in life itself, this series handles it with absolute respect.

It’s a great adaptation of Heather Morris’s work.

It’s harsh and emotionally heavy, but the quality is exceptional.

No woke stuff here.

Was a good watch with no woke elements

Just like house of the dragon you have the unexplained eyesore multiracial utopia that wasn't in game of thrones and neither make sense in a story based on medieval Europe.
