"Extinct" explores the interesting premise that humans were made extinct by an alien invasion, only to be resurrected hundreds of years later from DNA and mental imprints. Although I saw nothing woke here, I also saw nothing good, save the premise.
The show was produced by BYUtv, i.e., Brigham Young University TV, i.e., The Church of Latter Day Saints, i.e., the Mormons. I tried to stick with it, but getting through each episode is like torture, so I only made it through five. BYU itself could only stand ten episodes before canceling it on a cliffhanger.
This TV series is at the quality of a "B-movie", but what I can't stand is the voice of the AI drone, the clausterphobicness of their small cast and tiny area, and the lack of originality. There are Goa'uld type alien parasites and zapping staffs, too much like Stargate SG-1.
The casting is not overtly DEI. True, there is a black guy as one of the main three cast members. The woman looks Jewish, but she's not. Then we have a white male. The secondary characters are mostly white.
Not everything non-woke is good. This is non-woke non-good. But after this weekend when I watched this, the last two Alien movies, "The Hidden", and Stargate SG-1, I am well prepared in the event of an alien parasite invasion.
