Really no woke, but a little sad.

There seem to be no elements of woke in this - no forced diversity casting, no feminazis, no gay stuff, no politics.

The one sad element is something all too common in mainstream television, how if there is a "Christian" character in the story, inevitably they lose their faith and choose the life of debauchery (depicted as freedom). It doesn't make the show woke to have this element, but as a Christian conservative it makes me sad to again and again see characters lose their faith in God and "go native" shown as a good thing.

Anyway, you can watch this series, at least this first part of it, on Netflix without encountering any woke elements.

One of the greatest satires ever made

Although the film DOES have strong socio-political messaging, it's most definitely not woke in any way. This film follows the misadventures of a young and hopeful group of people who join the military to fight an "intruding?" race of alien bugs. Lots of gore, lots of lewd jokes, and very black comedy, but absolutely not a shred of woke.

Cancelled before the 1st season even aired and still one of the best sci-fi shows ever. Nothing woke to be found.

Not woke, just pointless and unnecessary

The first episode was interesting with the story of the clone army in the days after order 66, but it is riddled with pointless contrivances and canon breaking decisions that make no sense.

Awful woke bullshit

Nothing but an excuse to have checkbox alphabet characters in a crappy court drama that cares more about pandering and virtue signaling than it did the actual court cases themselves. It's no wonder it was never renewed for a season 2.

The name of the show says it all

The whole point of the show is to be racist towards white people.

Typical Netflix

Can't get through 15 minutes of documentary without encountering the "all white people are racist" and "all white people are sexist" trope. It's not about the game... that's just the intro. The entirety is a wash of the directors coaching the interviewees to repeat, "racism," "sexism," poor downtrodden vaginas, oh the humanity!

Nah. There are better tennis documentaries out there. Avoid this one.

Later seasons ruin the show.

The early seasons have some woke elements but its still watchable and rather funny. However the later seasons go so over the top with the anti male feminism and woke themes it just ruins it and becomes a preachy agenda piece and no longer humorous. According to this show most of NY is gay or lesbian.

From Good To Bad

This show begins with a display of strong, keen, confident men, albeit criminals, during the historical post-WWI late 1910's England and evolves into a fantasy world where men drastically switch up their beliefs and "bad-ass" women run their lives.
I really enjoyed the first season, and second season as well, by the middle of the 5th season I feel like I'm nearly watching a different show. It happens gradually, you will barely notice it. There is a decent and unlikely shift in core principals forced onto the main character, a major fallacy in portions of it being historical, glaringly villainous comparisons to modern politics ("England First!" implication: bad, evil. and of course they make the character associated with the movement one of the worst people in the show), unlikely female behaviors and feminist/communist/socialist subplots, etc.
This show seemingly aims to lead unscrupulous and unsuspecting minds to engineered conclusions of what is good and bad, and crushes any positivity or benefit in male strength, not to mention faith and belief in God, along the way.
When it gets boring they just kill some people off, and they also incorporate the very tired trope of: New Season, Episode 1 *introduce villain* -- Last Episode of Same Season *villain destroyed* : repeat.
This show defies human nature, reality, and history, instead pushing currently trending tropes in America into unlikely characters, portraying poor character, values, beliefs and actions.
Cringed when two women were (essentially) like "our husbands are crazy! we will divorce them, yeah!" *everything provided for them, not abused, given love, attention, and protection*

The main character stays pretty strong, aside from some forced changes in his core values, and carries the show on his shoulders. There is a lot more to say but, I may quit watching mid season 5, and other details aren't fresh. It could be assumed Netflix would do this to what could have been a great show altogether. I guess my advice would be: If at any point you feel like you want to quit watching, just trust that intuition, you won't be missing much.

Not a drop of woke!

From two badass male leads to likable, feminine love interests, there is nothing woke in here. Not a shred.

On one hand the bad guys in the story are the British Empire which has invaded and is now treating India like crap. And there is also a scene of dance in which the only person who "gets it" at a party when the rhythm becomes fun is the single black guy (in the WHOLE MOVIE, just there to not be white) while none of the white musicians could possibly understand music. That moment was slightly woke.

But to contend that, the love interest of one of the leads is a white chick, who is nice and normal. In addition, in that same dance scene above, despite the jab about "only the black dude in a band could understand rhythm" the ladies at the party all join in the fun, no matter what race. It's just the dudes being stuffy.

One has to understand that the story is set in early 1900's India, where the British really did oppress the country. So it makes sense that the movie portrays them all as evil racists. But the addition of the white love interest and all shows that the producers didn't really mean to say "all white people are racist," therefore the movie is not hateful, nor woke.

Besides, the whole thing is badass. Better than any of them. Better than woke-ass crap like Marvel Movies, those stupid feminazis taking over Star Wars and Indiana Jones and whatnot. Blows them all out of the water.

Masterful filmmaking

Beautiful, sometimes horrifying, melancholy but often extremely funny. This is great filmmaking. Not your fiddle Dee Dee potato Ireland, more like Ireland meets Midsommar. This was a joy to watch and contained no wokery that I could see. More like this please!
