Banger
An absolute must watch series. The concept is brilliant and the acting is good. It brings up rarely posed questions in TV and will challenge you a little. John Turturro is brilliant.
The Wokeness
I didn't find it particularly woke, if at all. No lecturing, no on-the-nose characters, no mary-sues. Considering it's modern TV, this is as good as it'll get woke-wise (and it's definitely worth the watch!)

Illustrates wokeness, but disparagingly
The best element this show has in the plus column is "nostalgia".
The writing is mostly forced and seems almost desperate, but there are some humorous lines and acting to save it. The only wokeness is displayed and then mocked or exposed as being shallow or virtue signaling. It's basically cheesy fun, take it lightly.

Too much race swapping, but just that.
Meh, at least they're trying to stick - storywise - to the manga. But every other character is as black as they can make them, whether it was like that in the original story or not.
It's also really weird to have the lead actor speak in a Mexican accent in some scenes with some lines, but American accent in other scenes and other lines. The kid version, too - who isn't even Mexican, but a full-on black kid - speaks in an American accent. Somehow his English got... shittier as he got older?
Nami's character got really boring. She used to be fun and cute, but now she's a sexless, emotionless clone of Captain Marvel, who as a girl SUCKED ASS. I don't like Nami in the live action, though I was kind of a fan in the comics.
Anyway, it's kind of trying, maybe. But not worth signing up to woke-ass Netflix for.

good title
There is a non violent approach to life from the main character. Although it is a bit far fetched and not completely developed, the story is ok. It is still missing the feeling of completeness, hope etc. It just presents the character broken, hopeless, continuing living withouth sense. The main character has the capacity do do better but chooses to be still and have a meaningless life.
I guess there are some woke subtle insertions, that life has no meaning. Still we got this kind of movies before the whole wokeness started.

Sigh... I wish Netflix would get it right
Look, you have a simple job. Just do the show as written!
The real One Piece anime is like Star Wars. It enjoys fans from both the left and right wing. So you have this perfect formula... and you instead decide to alienate everyone right of center.
Namie is badass but not a "strong woman". Nuh, let's make her just slightly better than Captain Marvel. Because it's not like she doesn't have an established character, and realistically be more of thinker than a fighter. Nope, let's make her completely awesome not only mentally but physically because we need more strong women (large hint: you make strong women by making strong WOMEN, not STRONG women).
Zoro is a sweet guy who saves a girl from a wolf. Instead they derailed his character by making him just a typical Asian dude. They kind of pre-empted his character by switching up stuff and cutting out what was really cool about him to do what seemed cool.
Luffy was alright, but I didn't like how they made him seem like a weaker fighter to make Nami look good, and I really don't like how Nami's spunk turns into radical feminism.
I'd say the wokeness is fairly mild, but it definitely exists. I also don't like how all the pirates in the Gold Roger scene seem multi-racial. Just play the story as written, please!

Pretty Woke Free
Oda is probably a liberal, but he has a good head on his shoulders. Many of the more evil actions of the villains, a Republican would agree are evil (slavery, elitism, genetic experimentation, and the state stamping on human faces). So it has across the board support whether you're left or right of center.
The Live Action is next to be reviewed though...

Invasion of the woke
It's Apple, so as you might expect, it's woke. I count 6 problems:
1. We have a Japanese lesbian, her lesbian lover, and a third lesbian with whom she bizarrely goes to bed soon after the first died. Additionally, the mind of the dead lesbian lives on in the "mother" alien and the lead lesbian happens to be the only person in the world who can talk to the alien, mostly about her dead lover. Flag on the play: lesbian over-representation.
2. Persian-American couple and kids... Hey, this could have been fine. But no. The husband is just unbelievably wretched. He is worse than worthless. The wife would literally be better off without him. So, it's an advertisement for single motherhood. Who needs men when they are going to be like this totally unrealistic monster?
3. But wait, for the lead white boy there's an even worse father, though he has abandoned his family long before the events of the show.
4. Both the Japanese lesbian and the Persian mother are geniuses, while the men around them are incompetent.
5. If I'm not mistaken, there was a dig at the reliability of Tesla cars. This is a tough one to grade, because indeed highly automated electric cars would not be my first choice for the apocalypse. However, Apple may have been attacking Elon Musk for his Nazi anti-censorship policies on Twitter, now X. Apple is pro-censorship, and thus anti-Nazi, in their upside down clown world.
6. The president of the world is a black woman. Maybe could be, but why does the president of the New World Order ALWAYS have to be a black woman in every woke show and movie set in the future?! The actress also seems unconvincing in the role, but perhaps she is supposed to be weak.
In summary, the wokeness makes it annoying, and the plot does not come close to making up for that.

not woke - just normal people
It's a formulaic murder mystery slash comedy. Quite entertaining. While I have only watched the first three seasons, and don't know what comes after, it seems quite normal.
It's supposed to be set in San Francisco, but we don't see any of the drug addicts or homelessness and filth on the street that SF is now famous for.

Gone Lesbian in Eps 6
I was initially quite invested in the TV show "Lioness," but I must express my disappointment with how it evolved in Episode 6. The sudden introduction and development of a lesbian relationship between the characters left me feeling like the show had taken an unnecessary and forced direction. It seemed like the storyline was being driven more by an agenda than by a natural progression of the plot.
The build-up towards the characters' romantic involvement felt contrived, as if it was added simply to check off a diversity box. This abrupt shift in the narrative disrupted the overall flow of the series.
Moreover, the fact that the characters ended up kissing at the end of Episode 6 left me questioning the authenticity of their connection. It felt like a calculated move to pander to a specific audience rather than a genuine exploration of their characters' emotional journeys.
I had hoped that "Lioness" would continue to deliver a compelling and thought-provoking storyline, but this sudden shift has made the show unwatchable for me.

Okay. Some minor annoying modern progressive cliches
CGI is decent. Story is interesting enough to keep you hooked and ignore minor annoyances. The story goes in an unexpected path. The first season in particular has cool twists you don't see coming.

Of course, it has some annoying progressive cliches and subtle messaging like unrealistically tougher female characters, the usual "men are dumb" narrative (all female characters are perfect but some male characters are total idiots), gender-mixed prisons, unnecessarily hypersexualised/slutty female characters, etc.
Also, more DEI characters are obviously added as the show progresses. It becomes obviously forced. At least there is no blatant SJW messaging however. Hence why I consider it a bit woke.
Season 3 is especially ridiculous with these traits as things even get more absurd.

It's hard to say...
...how woke this show is because for a show that started with such edgy promise I do think it's safe to say that it became a mocking parody of itself.
It was always smitten with its relentless gratuitous nudity and endless grinding but it was only after the first 2 or 3 seasons that it dissolved into a plotless wonder with everybody doing everybody and no humans left in sight.
It completely lost its edge when every character became either a fairy or a werewolf or a vampire...or something other than human.. The only stakes left were who was going to screw who.
Everyone stayed naked so frequently that it got exciting to see them put their clothes on. ...You wondered if some direction to the plot might be brewing..
What a mess it became that even the nudity got boring.
Woke? Who knows. I stopped watching when it put me to sleep.

No Woke But Not Very Funny
No woke. Unfortunately not very funny. A watered down PG comedy that feels very much like a made for tv movie. Decent acting but a tired slapstick formula that just doesn't really work. It might be worth a one time watch if your fans of either actor but that about it.
