The Girls
The series has Watchmen-level socio-political commentary potential, but it's a parade of woke values. Any social positions of power are all re-cast as women, even if they were male characters in the source material. Antagonists are colored as caricatures of MAGA supporters or conservatives. They take aim at Christians, non-POC while being happily inclusive of lots of gay sex, gay scenes, and literal, actual penises. No tits. Feminism rules in all areas. Anyone white is "bad," with the exception of the lead Mary Sue, who is only redeemed when she shuns her Christian background (which is only depicted as bigoted and superficial).
The action scenes are fun and the characters usually interesting, but there's so much overt politics and hatred on anything non-communist that it's constantly shaking the viewer's suspension of disbelief.
Fun, okay, maybe. But WOKE AF.

Bloody H3LL
Little over the top with the shock and awe. Each season trying to one up the previous has ruined it. Loved the initial take.

Unwatchable
All the male characters are evil, dumb or possibly redeemable by one of the much more powerful female characters. Some good action sequences and some good jokes but I couldn’t keep viewing. Unwatchable.

Woke as hell. This show lives to troll Conservatives!
Every white male is bad. Literally everyone! Even Hughie in the latest season. The most recent season involved BLM and flipped a middle finger to half of the country. The shows undertones of typical woke garbage almost ruin everything. The saving grace is the sick humor, and fantastic combat scenes. Pretty good special effects as well. Overall this show is worth a watch. Just make fun of the woke garbage and you will come out ok.

Woke as hell.
Remarkably high budget and well-ish written considering. But one of the wokest things I've ever sat through.

Mixed review
Yes, this is very woke. The lead villain is (of course) a patriotic straight white man and his fans are clearly based on Trump voters -- but also a very clever and well-done show, despite that. I had to overlook the woke b.s. to be able to enjoy this show. The Season 3 finale was really disappointing. I don't plan to keep watching it after that. I have mixed feelings about this show. It was entertaining but at the same time, I would not recommend it to anyone.
