Overt-needless placement of woke and overall undertone.
Early in the movie, blatant and irrelevant woke points added like "my two mommies..." instead of "my owners..." are overt in-your-face for the pure sake of wokeness.
Undertone of the story is...
- no one is exceptional (even Superman?), you cannot succeed without others (bastardized version of the old "teamwork" narrative).
- blatantly white characters (or stand-in characters for pets) are the lesser moral individuals who need to learn something from their non-white counterparts (but not the others).
The undertones overall are collectivist, racist ("reverse-racist"?), and classist with a spattering of blatant woke language.

No woke to avoid, just an annoying narrator.
A fascinating documentary about the rise and fall of Carlos Ghosn.
As it is a documentary, there is little woke. None, really.
There is a useless narrator character that interrupts the flow to give a bimbo comment and no useful information. Still don't know why this talking head was included - perhaps a daughter of someone who needed screen time? Whatever she is, it doesn't count as woke.

Narrative pushing 101
This woman has been so coached, probably after the murder by her "online supporters," that she comes off ridiculously insincere. Instead of talking about the crime and those circumstances, the side of her defense jumps right to "minorities and women don't get a chance!" and of course, Evil White Men.
This is not a crime documentary. It's an undereducated hick being told what to say in front of the camera, again and again, repeating the lines of the script. The Narrative, the Narrative! The Narrative will save me!
Not worth the watch.

Great sci fi
This is a great, but under-appreciated, sci fi film. Excellent acting and direction, believable effects, and inventive story telling. Great direction from Neill Blomkamp and a genius reluctant hero performance from Sharlto Copely

Wokeness ruined another show
Titans had all the potential in the world but wokeness ruined it completely. Examples of woke content in the show are making black (and uglt) one of the main characters (who was created as extremely beautiful), introducing unnecessary gay stuff, making superboy entangle with another black converted character, killing white characters for no reason and destroying white couples relationships.
All this stuff makes what wokeness always makes to shows, to care more about indoctrination and agenda pushing than to tell a potentially good story.

Sidestepping the woke
This is the (true?) story of a family of migrants that travels the hard way up to Europe. It shows the hard and long trek and the troubles that face migrants, but ultimately when they arrive in Europe they go through the legal registration system to get their visas and integrate into society.
In that sense, though there is potential for the encouragement of sympathy for illegals, it sidesteps that issue.
Therefore, there isn't really any woke in this. No feminazi stuff, no forced casting, no gay gay gay, no lectures, no politics.

It works if you fast forward the gay bits.
The story is rather unique: a mind-bending, chilling ghost story of sorts set in Elizabethan Period, on the ocean. Unfortunately most seems to be filmed at night, so it's hard to see what's going on. But the characters are generally compelling and the story is curious enough to want to keep watching. The choice of music is very strange considering it's a period piece, but it serves to keep the audience at an objective distance, the way a Brechtian director might do.
The woke comes from a gay gay gay main character and his arc. There is no sex in the series generally, but there is LOTS of deep kissing and petting sensuality between the only two gay characters.
None from any of the other characters.
So in order to watch this series, I had to constantly fast forward and skip the gay sex romps. The story flows just as fine without them, so you're not missing anything in doing so.
Besides the heavy gay, the occasional feminist rant from the madame aboard gets annoying, but her character is minor, so it's forgettable enough.
There are no political rants, no forced diversity casting, no emasculation. The diversity is there, but in a logical international way. I have no idea what the producers meant by sticking in the gay characters - maybe it was a Netflix checkbox to be filled, since the story is better without them.

A war movie with no soul
Though battle movies are always fun, this film's script is strangely lackluster compared to what it could have been. The heavily used CG is also clunky and unpolished in some places. But hey, war movie, right?
As far as wokeness goes, there's nothing to worry about. No politics, no forced casting, no lectures, no Alphabet Army, no feminazism.

Comedy + Thriller. Non woke
Great comedy showing the worst meanness of human beings.
Guillermo Francella is wonderful: his character goes from comedy to thriller to drama.
No wokeness, no forced inclusion, no political correctness.

Ending on a low note
Generally a good, fascinating story that starts out comically and turns dark very quickly. Well worth the watch.
That said, there is an ugly tablespoon of woke force-feeding at the end.
During the Great Reveal, it's revealed that a certain partner-in-question is gay and involved romantically with another character. LGBT-visibility for the win, right? *eye roll* There is also affectionate kissing and sexual petting between the couple in the final scenes.
And other than that, there's no woke. No politics, no odd casting, no lectures.

Compelling crime drama
Great depiction of Berlin between the wars. Interesting characters, compelling story. It’s raunchy (in the best traditions of Berlin) but I felt no woke.
