Invasion of the woke
The show is slow, which is not necessarily bad in itself. It follows different groups of people all over the world as they experience a lot of WTF in the face of abnormal events that turn their daily lives upside down.
It's Apple, so as you might expect, it's woke. I count 6 problems:
1. We have a Japanese lesbian, her lesbian lover, and a third lesbian with whom she bizarrely goes to bed soon after the first died. Additionally, the mind of the dead lesbian lives on in the "mother" alien and the lead lesbian happens to be the only person in the world who can talk to the alien, mostly about her dead lover. Flag on the play: lesbian over-representation.
2. Persian-American couple and kids... Hey, this could have been fine. But no. The husband is just unbelievably wretched. He is worse than worthless. The wife would literally be better off without him. So, it's an advertisement for single motherhood. Who needs men when they are going to be like this totally unrealistic monster?
3. But wait, for the lead white boy there's an even worse father, though he has abandoned his family long before the events of the show.
4. Both the Japanese lesbian and the Persian mother are geniuses, while the men around them are incompetent.
5. If I'm not mistaken, there was a dig at the reliability of Tesla cars. This is a tough one to grade, because indeed highly automated electric cars would not be my first choice for the apocalypse. However, Apple may have been attacking Elon Musk for his Nazi anti-censorship policies on Twitter, now X. Apple is pro-censorship, and thus anti-Nazi, in their upside down clown world.
6. The president of the world is a black woman. Maybe could be, but why does the president of the New World Order ALWAYS have to be a black woman in every woke show and movie set in the future?! The actress also seems unconvincing in the role, but perhaps she is supposed to be weak.
In summary, it may have a promising plot, but woke makes it annoying.

Almost as woke as you can get.
Show is not that good. Parts in Kandahar and the UK are okay. Story line in Japan and US are terrible. Talk about over playing the LGBTQ stuff in the Japan story line. Not just a forced scene like we see much of the time, but an entire story line that only focuses on this adding in a sand grain size of real story outside of this. I use VidAngle, and it can only filter so much. I am also not a fan of young kids using profanity, and there is a lot of that here.
