An interesting one...
This show is an interesting one for me. There are a lot of LGB characters throughout- which isn't necessarily a predictor of wokeness... Same with characters of multiple ethic backgrounds- who are also likely to be found after a 'worldwide pandemic'! Very rarely did these feel forced to me (which is one of my main criticisms with wokeness).
Interestingly, there were a few characters of faith throughout the series as well, generally represented in a decent manner too. (I was very frustrated with a certain religious character when first introduced, but he changed, developed and became a solid character overall.) It is interesting seeing almost every character of faith question their beliefs through the series, which imho made them feel more relatable and realistic than other characters who never struggle with deeper concepts like that.

Trash
I was so disappointed to see the boy = bad, girl = good messages through the lego characters, but also the humans in the real world too. Also, making an obviously deceptive, manipulative female character into a 'good guy' by the end was also disappointing. It wasn't that she saw the error of her ways, it was simply that she was always right, so her manipulations were just part of her 'good guy' character. :(

Russian Disinformation
...until it's conveniently not. Very telling portrayal of the events, but in a joking manner. Obviously no woke, except the black face of white supremacy. Not a joke.

Amateur Hour, Woke Diversity
So in the 30 minutes I watched, lots of diversity casting, no other woke. This movie is absolutely terrible in every way. How is this directed by Robert Rodriguez with a 70 Million dollar budget. Horrible acting, dialog and writing. The story makes no sense whatsoever and the editing and scene transition is awful. I'm guessing the sound editing/mixing is really bad as well because the voice sounds nothing like Affleck. How do this many capable actors sign on to a movie this bad.

Not what I expected...
What I expected was, an expository crime documentary. What I didn't expect was the actual criminal explaining his crimes with braggadocio. We tend to glorify criminal behavior in fiction. I would cite direct examples such as Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, The Sopranos, etc. There are even some less direct examples such as the Ravagers in Guardians of the Galaxy. The problem with Voyeur is that it was real criminal behavior being portrayed and even glorified. That man should've been in prison for what he did. If you can get by these details, it's a good reference for understanding the events, which is what a documentary should be.

Some woke
One of the main characters, Nate Romanowski, was converted to a person-of-color for the series. If you're not familiar with the book, that wouldn't be out of place. Mustafa Speaks brings this altered character to a new life. It's just worth noting that the change was made. It would be head-in-the-sand thinking to deny that it was a PC move. There's also an obligatory homosexual that shows up in a knitting / gossip club now and then. I don't remember that from the books. Other than that, this series is similar to the Bosh re-hash style. Two or three of the novels are presented in a mishmash making up a season. Overall, it's worth the watch but, of course, the books are much better.
EDIT: Season two...
It's getting a little more woke. Joe is being turned into an emotionally crippled wimp while his shotgun-wielding wife takes matters into her own hands. Scene: Joe and his wife are holed up in a cabin waiting for the showdown and she starts letting him know how he isn't the strong pillar that he thinks he is. He breaks down and admits that he needs help. It's kind of a subtle anti-toxic-masculinity message.

Not woke
Based on a true story from 0bummer admin but blends recent events too from 0biden admin. "Welcome to new Afghanistan... same as the old." Taliban Humvee's still marked as "US Army" and "We don't have the authority." "Fuck the authority."

No Woke, Creepy Movie
As the previous reviewer stated, only one woke tirade by a character that is instantly torn apart and destroyed by another. No other woke elements. A little slow moving but with some great acting and never boring. Not really horror so much as a thriller maybe but definitely worth a watch.

Low Quality Woke British Film
Mixed race couple again. The husband is a complete useless moron and a coward to boot. The wife is of course the strong capable one. There are a bunch of white male bullies. The acting is bad, the story is nonsense. The creatures are badly done and hardly there. For some reason almost every outside shot looks like a cheap badly lit fake set or badly implemented green screen. It just looks terrible. Pass on this one.

Very Average.
Woke consists of the father being sort of a useless male character with the wife being the strong one, also the token black cop in 1978 middle of nowhere Oregon is highly unlikely. Good acting and atmosphere with a recycled story. Some pretty good FX with no bad CG. Unfortunately ruined by the typical lazy, bad, nonsense writing.

Ptolemy Grey Pushes Anti-white Victimhood Mentality
A fatherly good-natured virtuous black character premeditatively drugs a white character, steals his life savings, and then privately explains to a black child, of whom he is not the parent, that his doing so was justified because of what that white character's "people" did to the black character's "people." If you share the opinion of this show's creators that the Western world needs more of this type of message (that racially-motivated criminality can be righteous), then this series might be for you. (On a side note, if you happen to be a writer or producer working in the entertainment industry, please take a moment to consider whether your content's underlying messages might be perpetuating cycles and doing more harm than good, and to consider the possibility that it might be time to stop ignoring towering intellectual trailblazers like Thomas Sowell.)
