A classic
Three amazingly different but city tamed men go on a rafting trip to explore their manhood with their extremely macho testosterone fueled friend ( Burt Reynolds).
Things don't work out quite as planned.
Adventure turns into true horror and tragedy and everyone is forced to discover just how tough they really are. And I'm pretty sure their dose of PTSD extended over the rest of their lives.
There is no " gayness" or gays in this. The people they meet are animals capable of doing anything to anyone. And that's scary.
It's an adventure but also a modern horror story you can't take your eyes from. Riveting.. but not in the slightest woke.

Intriguing in spite of itself
There's definitely some wokeness here although it's not so much in the diversity itself. Diversity is nothing new for several decades now.
But how intentional is it in the hiring of actors and how much does it really make a difference is the question..
The only way it might make any difference is that some of the characters fall flat and lack charisma and some of the general interactions between the actors lack chemistry. Were some hired for the wrong reason?
One unnecessary sub plot is a romantic triangle between the male Asian deputy and the female doc and her druggie girlfriend. There's enough stuff going on in the show without throwing this in the pile.
All that being said are that my favorite characters right now are the black sherriff ( Harold Perrineau..the biggest actor in the cast) and the asian american deputy.
Although all the characters aren't so likable the story itself is intriguing and keeps me wanting more..There's not a lot of scifi horror around these days We need this

The biggest crime
..is that all its world building, character building and mythology came to mean absolutely nothing in the end. What's that saying about Chekhov's gun? They literally destroyed all the guns in the end making everything utterly meaningless... thus making rewatches unlikely and destroying its legacy.
GOT is adult themed and heavily laden with sex and violence. There is mainly heterosexual depicted but also some gay along with rape and incestuous depictions. There is an over saturation of gratuitous female nudity in the first several seasons which should more than compensate for a little gay.
There are some powerful women but not more so than male and they're about even in the pycho department.
My favorite character through much of the show was Tyrion, a male dwarf.
A character doesn't have to look like or be just like us for us to relate to them.

Just a fun movie
...that managed to seduce me into the Marvel universe. And reminiscent of Farscape.
Not woke.

If you have the patience
This is kind of a beautful unique vision of alien life and life itself.
But woke? No

Not the slightest woke
Nothing woke here. A well deserved classic.
What are some of these reviewers smoking?

Excellent the 1st 5 to 10 seasons
This show was a fast paced hybrid of character and plot that was immersive for a time. But as time went on the fire dampened into mostly soap opera territory and most beloved characters all moved on .. It tackled timely topics such as addiction, mental illness and HIV without ever being woke.
Probably it's most woke stance was how much the doctors cared about their patients. But that's not woke; that's just fantasy.

Estrogen heavy woke
I'm not nearly as big a fan of this show as many others seem to be. It's wokeness seems mostly in its estrogen heavy story because I find none of the females likable , certainly not in present day.
But males win out in both time zones as mostly being better human beings. Is that woke ?

Excellent film noir
The performances in this film are so on the money that something is always happening even when it isn't.
Excellent film.
Woke? Only to those that find everything woke.
