Woke casting, Network Quality
Based on the first 2 episodes only. Lots of diversity casting, rebel leader is the typical 'female badass" POC. Father makes lots of mistakes and son is a bit of an idiot while the mom is smart and the daughter is a genius. Otherwise some pretty bad acting and questionable FX even for 2011 standards. Story is very cliché and it's obvious a large part of it will focus on the usual stupid kids doing stupid things. No surprise this was cancelled after only 1 season.

Garbage, but not woke garbage
Nothing woke, but a complete piece of trash nonetheless. A bland and pointless remake with a sad pathetic knockoff version of Freddy Krueger.

Ignore the claims of “Gay Subtext”
I’ve watched this movie a number of times and still can’t understand the claims that Freddy Krueger was supposed to represent the main protagonist’s supposed “repressed homosexuality”. It’s a load of crap in my honest opinion.
People have debated for decades over this movie’s supposed “gayness” and both the writer and the director denied any such thing for years until more recently when everyone went woke and started worshipping and pandering to the LGBT community. The director still denies any gay subtext but the writer, after almost 40 years of denying it, now claims it was intentional. I don’t believe it. It sounds like virtue signaling for woke points.
The actor in the lead role is gay in real life and at times that may slip through, mostly in his screaming, but in terms of the character or movie in general there is nothing at all to suggest that the character was intended to be a closeted homosexual or much less that Freddy Krueger was meant to represent his supposed repressed homosexuality.
All that aside, pretty good movie. Not as good as the original, but nothing is.

A horror film with themes of ghetto vs rich class struggle without any overt racial or political agenda being pushed.
For some, just knowing that the hero of the film is a struggling black boy from the ghetto and the villains are crazed, rich, racist white people may lead them to believe that the film stinks of wokeness but I assure you it does not.
The villains of the film hurt EVERYBODY. White, black, male, female doesn’t matter. They represent the rich white elite who own all of the property and hold everyone else down. The kind of people who cheated their way into wealth and riches and look down on anyone who hasn’t done the same. The kind of people who in today’s world would advocate for social justice and forced racial integration in YOUR neighborhood but lock themselves away in a lily white gated community and never associate with any minorities. The kind of people who would call YOU a racist for supporting Donald Trump but refer to all blacks as “niggers” when they’re among their inner circle.
All in all, a pretty good movie. Far from Wes Craven’s best film, but a pretty crazy ride.

Not Really Woke, Just So Very Corny
So at the 1 hour mark I gave up but didn't notice anything really woke up to that point. Although there is a very heavily black cast it takes place in New Orleans which is majority black so wouldn't really call that woke. The acting is not very good. The writing and dialogue in particular are so corny and cheesy and none of the jokes are funny. Although it's PG-13 there are no scares and the whole thing is played as a slapstick comedy, it just doesn't work.

Heavy politics
Most of it tries to look documentary-ish, and is an interesting look into the rise of cultish figures. But then after a few episodes of interviews by dubious "experts" (seriously, a rando teenage podcaster?) it delves into "conservatives are all in a cult, and the Republican Party is a cult."
Yeah, if there wasn't a blatant message until then, it sure as hell ended on one.
Tread lightly, and turn it off when they start getting political.

Low Budget Badly Made Horror
Mixed race couple again with token black character, woke remarks about gender politics. Horrible acting, dialogue and FX with a generic story make this one to skip.

One of the best TV shows in the later seasons
There is mild woke as all Star Trek series have focused on casting every variety of human they can think of as the leads just because. Also they made a few characters bi/lesbian. It's annoying but the majority of relationships are between normal people so there's that.
But that is all the woke you can think of, everything else is human stories and thought provoking situations plus a fair bit of drama in the later seasons. Once you get the diversity hiring out of the way, the show and the characters they portray and their growth are simply unprecedented. It really feels like you're on a journey with them and the later seasons are just perfect. Individual episodes like The Visitor are also probably the best storytelling in TV history. It's also between black characters where the focus isn't that they're black but they're human, not vice versa which is what the current woke Left believes.
I suggest skipping Season 1 and 2 until you watch all other seasons first and then returning to it. I had great time with the show and it's my go to recommendation to all people interested in scifi and well done non-soapy drama. Only docking a point because the show takes a while to get it's footing right and it's mildly woke.

Great Killer Doll Movies
All of the movies in the Child’s Play trilogy are great. They were the true horror films in the “Child’s Play/Chucky” franchise, as opposed to the dark comedy tone the later films adapted, though these contained some dark humor as well. Nothing at all woke about them. Ignore Don Mancini’s later entries in the series and the awful TV series and stick with Child’s Play 1, 2 and 3, Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky. Everything after is woke garbage.

Love this movie
The first of the dark comedy Chucky movies but the best of them as well. Nothing woke in this one as opposed to Don Mancini’s later work. There is one gay character but he has a very minor role and he’s treated like everyone else, no pandering or agendas were being pushed here.

The last good Chucky movie before Don Mancini went woke
Pretty funny movie. Gender confusion and cross dressing are played for laughs and portrayed as a psychological illness in this 2004 film rather than the moronic pandering and normalization of such things that came later. Even Don Mancini (an openly gay man) wasn’t always obsessed with worshipping the LGBT community.

Not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but far from good.
It might have been salvageable without the wokeness but even then it’s not great.
Woke elements include a gay black man with a disabled husband, the mentioning of chosen pronouns, and Chucky possessing a woman’s body and essentially becoming a lesbian with his old girlfriend.
