Is it woke or does it make fun of wokeness?
That is the question. I think it makes fun of wokeness far more than not. It does so quite well too. No one is spared, ultimately. The only problem it has is that it doesn't cover the things that really need satire, such as medical tyranny -- or did they do that? I know they skewered transgenderism -- which was good. Someone needed to.

The wokeness is there but hard to pin down because it's satire
It's about an annoying secular Jewish man and those he angers - which is about everyone with his bad behaviour (that's the running gag). There are woke elements in the show but there is also satire of these elements, so I can't say it's a woke show but nor can I say it's woke-free. It's politically incorrect in the extreme and even vulgar at times. It's Jewish humour like the Cohen Bros' film A Serious Man or Wood Allen's films.

Definitely woke
Set in Toronto in the late 19th century, it strains credulity to show a female physician and a black female medical assistant. And the physician demonstrates a lot of modern values. She seems like a feminist in fact. The first female physician in the USA was in 1848, so it did happen but must have been very rare. The show would have been more plausible had they stuck to the murder mystery protagonist, Murdoch, and not diverted the show with his feminist wife. That being said, it's not a bad show. There is some humour in it as well. It's a Canadian production. Former Canadian PM Stephen Harper even made a guest appearance on it once.
p.s. I am now reading the other reviews, about the increasing LBGTQ agenda on the show. I never watched it that far. Disappointing to hear of this.

Zero wokeness
This was made in the 1950s -- a Western tv show. Great stuff, a different story and characters every week. Well worth watching.

Not woke that I can recall
Someone pointed out that Gustavo Fring is gay but I don't see that as a woke element per se. The show doesn't promote LGBTQ especially. We never have to witness a gay moment. It's just part of the story because his boyfriend is killed and that's his motive for revenge.
This show is a masterpiece of storytelling.

I don't recall any wokeness in this
This show is from the 90s, before all this woke garbage came out. It's Canadian comedy, pretty bland fare. A recurring gag is that everything broken can fixed with duct tape. It's not conservative by any means. It's not woke either. It seems to be apolitical, avoiding any serious topic. It's a parody of a regular guy in the countryside, a do-it-yourselfer in his garage fixing things. Reminds me of Doug and Bob McKenzie, a parody of beer-drinking hockey fans.

The very opposite of woke; one of the manliest shows ever made
I love this show. One of the old 1950s Western tv shows, like Gunsmoke. A very intelligent show too, and it conveyed some good moral lessons.

Christian television
This is a lot like Michael Landon's Highway to Heaven. It's a feel-good religious show. I don't recall any woke elements in it, though I didn't watch more than a few episodes. It struck me as good family entertainment. Not woke.

Great show
Not an ounce of wokeness in this, made in the 1960s long before cultural Marxism took over. Makes fun of hillbillies (mountain folk) but in a good-hearted way. Sort of what Jeff Foxworthy does in his act. It's all built around one gag: hillbillies out of place, amongst rich urbanites and the misunderstanding that arise therefrom.

Great show, not an ounce of wokeness
This was made in the 1970s, long before all the madness commenced. People in this show are normal. Some are murderers of course, but normal folks otherwise. Columbo is a working-class Italian guy who smokes cigars and drives a beat-up car. Excellent show, one of my favourites of all time. "Just one more thing!"

This guy sucks
Worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome ever. And a shameless shill for Big Pharma and Democrats. Echoes CCP propaganda as well. Not a comedian; he's a propagandist, working for Big Brother. The sad thing is that Kimmel used to be funny and certainly not woke when was on Ben Stein's Money and the Man Show.

Humorous nihilism
The wokeness is this dark animation is not so much race-swapping or LBGTQ or feminism -- the usual things -- it's more the ethical nihilism and moral relativism of the show. Since there are infinite numbers of parallel universes postulated, life has no value. Each episode features numerous pointless deaths of characters, even to the point that they're murdered by their doppelganger from a parallel universe. This is a dominant feature of the woke worldview, which has eschewed traditional morality and religion in favour of secular humanism. It's the most nihilistic tv show or movie I can think of. The message seems to be that nothing matters and it's all absurd. It's essentially Albert Camus' vision of life; he once said "Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”
