Not woke but...

Not exactly openly woke but it is not free of hollywood west/east coast elitist bias.
Either the books author or the writers of the show have/had something againts small towns and the people who live in them, becasue the show is constantly painting them in a realy negitive light in several of the episodes. The sterotypes are getting a bit old and annoying.
The fake accents are painful to listen to.
The villains are all a mix of different races and countries.
When a new character was going to be introduced as a helper to the main character I was able to guess race and gender before they spoke and they were revealed. I am sure you can as well.

A few other minor gripes about it but over all if you want a bloody [I do mean bloody], gunslinging, explosive action packed detective show then it is worth the watch.

It's a little woke.

Commenting and rating incorrectly is truly useless. The lead is a 5ft 90lb Asian skeleton with literal bones poking out of her skin. We have the token black guy. The aggressive angry white jock. The typical mostly useless overly emotional male characters, then add to that a dash of social commentary spread throughout and what do your get? A mildly woke movie. But no wokeness here. Sure, whatever.

Even an Arthurian Legend?

Even the famous British medieval Arthurian legend, The Green knight, is not spared the woke Hollywood revisionist history attack. Casting of main character and his mother is questionable as prominent medieval characters. This is a slow moving fantasy drama with what appears to be a cautionary tale. This is not a bad movie, however a pass may be the option.

Indoctrination Incuded

Netflix woke✅ box. Highschool male teen waring judge RGB tee, another male teen waring a "FEMINISM" tee. Background sigh during a facetime call "SOCIAL JUSTICE WORRIER".

This movie contains a lot of child abuse. Plot line is all over the place. The movie pushes the liberal LGBQT agenda.

Plenty of satanic cult garbage as well. Skip this disaster...

Woke Vampire Movie

Eight minutes into the film the main character's friend mentions "British colonial guilt". Totally un-necessary statement for the dialog. But again, Netflix has to check the box. Several times the main characters, both black, are compelled to mention how white the other characters are. At one point, about 40 min in, the main character states, for no apparent reason, "are there any walls in England?" The British character states, shaking his head, "Americans, walls, we've not had walls in England for over 400 years." I call BS! Again, 1:38 into the movie, "the whites' man I've ever seen."

The show starts off well and mostly retains the initial good elements, but quickly becomes very woke.

Sam, the main character who has autism, is a great character. It’s heartwarming to him grow and explore new avenues as the story progresses. I think most people will love Sam.

The show is often quite funny, with some excellent light-hearted jokes.

———————————————————-The Woke (Potential Spoilers):
A huge plot point of the show involves a same-sex couple. It is incredibly dramatic, and layers itself on top of a bunch of leftist ideas being incorporated into the show.

Another thing, while somewhat minor are some strange views surrounding marriage and fornication.

Good show

As a fan of the video game franchise I must say it stayed pretty true. However there is a gay sex scene that is annoying. Totally unnecessary as usual. Gay and bisexual couples are everywhere. Also anti religious elements, but it’s Dracula so no surprise. Also the women dominate all of the men. Some really great characters. The great story telling saves the show.

Don't dwell on aspects of this movie you can argue are woke

This movie is about family family family. HETEROSEXUAL FAMILIES. Some of the strongest men characters and themes of fathers being indispensable that I've ever seen in a movie. But I'm supposed to care that not enough bad guys were non-white? Stop looking for things to offend you! The enemy here is the all powerful govt and the good guys here are the strong family unit. Don't shy away from this movie if you're conservative.

Pretty Bad

A few decent episodes. Overall it’s a homage to wokeness on steroids.

Great movie, with no hidden agendas.

You have to expect environmental and native population displacement topics to be central themes going into a movie like this. That was present in the first movie and is about the same in this movie. As long as you keep that in mind, I was pleasantly surprised that no completely out-of-theme or culturally irrelevant or immersion-jarring agendas were pushed in this movie.
As far as villains, there was representation from both male and female. I imagine a hundred years or so into in the future that this would be an appropriate ratio. However, most villains were white, although there was a couple Asians throw into the mix. There were no other races cast as villains. I imagine that was the safe bet so as to not get too much woke media complaint.
Overall, very pleased. Thank you, James Cameron!

I didn't expect a sequel to be this good!

I don't know if "sequel" is the right word for this. The only thing that carried over from Knives Out is the main character. Once you get over Daniel Craig having a southern gentleman accent, it's great. They did one major thing right in making this one: they used a good Whodunnit story like they did in the first one. The acting was nothing short of perfection in all characters. The sequence of story telling was on par with Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino. I expect multiple Oscars going this way.
