The new thing
So this seems to be the new thing. Starts out fun with a decent amount of action and reasonably well-drawn characters. Then, by the time you get halfway through the series it is complete woke bullshit with all the male characters being helpless / clueless and all the female characters being super powerful and treating the male characters like servants / eyecandy.

WOKE AF.
Although it starts out okay, it's pure feminazi woke-ass bullcrap. Poorly formed characters wobble their way through predictable mic-drop scripts, any white male characters are weak, wimpy and unlikeable. All people in power are board-like hardass women with no souls, or POC who will, inevitably - turn out to be transgender or gay at some point if you dare to watch that far.
I couldn't get through the first season. Enjoy your spoon-fed helping of loser woke.

Woke but not SUPER woke
It might depend on your threshold for what is and isn't woke. I expected the lead to be a buffoon but he isn't. He's a likable but naive young man who's quick on his feet and ignorantly believes he can talk his way out of any situation. Which he usually does.
This a sort of a parody of the CIA and not to be taken too seriously
All the men are not stupid and the women all brilliant. But mostly all the characters are quirky and sort of villains more than they're not. There are 2 bad ass women that do seem invincible but one is sympathetic and one, who is of color, is all bad.
There is diversity but not out of proportion. There is a gay roommate which I don't mind except that it serves no purpose and is just there to check boxes.There is a rich ex girlfriend always lecturing the protagonist on what a loser he is even as he stays one step ahead of everyone around him.
The male lead and the female asset are the most likable characters but all in all the situations are ludicrous and the show enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously.
