Not woke
At least for the first 10 seasons, not sure how it gets later on

First few seasons are excellent
First few season are pre-2016, and therefore a 0/5 on the wokeism. Not until about season 7 or 8 that it starts seeping in subtly. Luckily I stopped watching before it got too woke, the creators realized most their viewership came from teenage girls who had a crush on the actors and started portraying toward that audience more.. clearly evident with the new 15yr old girl character who has no training or experience but magically becomes some super tactical badass monster killer.. in just a few months of training.. PLUS they made it so animals could talk.. the two together in the same episode was so cringe I stopped watching and never went back.. good thing too cuz I heard it got much worse overall and with the wokeism

Not woke
Not woke, great show. After one of the main characters dies off so does the show.. becomes dull, I get the writers wanted to base it off of historical events, but the Vikings’ real historical events toward the end of their reign was pretty “dull” and did involve a lot of in-fighting.. It would have been much cooler had they all teamed up again and ravaged Europe but they didn’t, cuz in real life they didn’t..

Super woke
I can’t remember specific examples, but I remember being highly disappointed and yelling at the TV while simultaneously explaining to my wife why it was unrealistic. Christians essentially all evil, over the top feminism and a multi cultural society when in real history the only multiculturalism was based on the slaves that they had.. I remember one of the scenes the boats of Vikings come in and the main character girl is just standing there.. so you’d think they’d all take out their arrows and just light her A** up.. but no.. they all play staring contest with her.. the boats are literally almost docked before she even pulls the oil tops off.. you’d think they’d just charge out and kill her.. well no, cuz no one has won the staring contest yet.. so she also has all the time in the world to throw fire into the oil setting it on fire.. oil burns ontop of the water, not IN or underneath the water.. but somehow none of the Vikings are smart enough to swim under the water to get to saftey.. and they all burn alive.. YEAH, OK..

Korean movie
This is a Korean movie that is translated to English. Apparently Koreans don’t care for wokeism too much because I didn’t find any in the show. It was actually a pretty good show

Some woke elements but very minor
Yes Leslie loves Hillary Clinton and the liberal crew, but this was before 2016.. I think it was more relating to her personality of being a middle aged bureaucratic single women than trying to admire Clinton.. this easily gets counter balanced with Ron Swansons libertarian approach, plus it has Chris Pratt in it too who is not woke in any shape or form. I liked it, nothing overtly obnoxiously woke.. would watch again

Most woke show I’ve ever seen
Climate change, gay sex scenes, wealthy white people evil, anti-fat shaming, Christian bashing, universal income, open borders, Islamophobia, trump bashing, conservative bashing, trans, climate change, feminism, pay gap, etc.. this show has everything woke wrapped into it.. the first 5 seasons it’s bearable, just subtly woke here and there.. but after season 8 I could not continue to watch.. it has 12 seasons. Never finished it and never will.. and after being committed 8 seasons in.. I don’t even care how it ends.. it literally becomes that painful to watch.

They went super woke season 3
The first two seasons would have been a 1/5.. standard feminism (you know, naturally badass fighting lead female characters who have no training or rough upbringing but are just miraculously super tough and good at fighting with no experience).. which I was willing to overlook because they have literal sci-fi style type monsters so an unnaturally/unreasonable badass female wasn’t too far fetched (it’s her power that makes her strong or w/e).. which was very tolerable.. THEN CAME SEASON 3.. 5/5. Not only is it Henry Cavills last season, but it turned super woke. Henry Cavill either quit or was pushed out for wanting to keep the show in line with the books.. he has read all the books and wanted to keep it authentic but the writers apparently want to add their “twist” to things (wonder if the 2 are connected). Then they go and make the sex addicted womanizer frat boy Jaskier into a soft soy boy with some weird hipster haircut you only see in NYC.. not only that, but they made him gay! Poor jaskier man, he was my second favorite in the first season then they completely changed everything about him (except him being a bard) and added a bunch of gay kissing and intimate scenes. I hope the series goes bankrupt now. Way to ruin a great show..

The Wokeness increases with each season
When I was a freshman in college I liked this show, it was just mind numbing stupidity and I like the actor who voices “bob”.. few subtle woke features by the 2nd or 3rd season.. watched recently out of boredom and it gets progressively worse as the seasons continue.. there’s a full episode about trans.. my rating is based on overall. It would be a 1/5 for the beginning seasons, 4/5 on the later seasons

Disgraceful
As an avid “Dexter” fan, I find this “spinoff” to be abysmal.. not only did they ruin the show with their wokeism.. they completely changed the concept of Dexters personality. They made him care too much about things that a real serial killer (like they successfully mirrored in the original) would not care about
