Not woke

Violent and lacking in PC with some surprising twist you don't see coming.
It kind of bogs down in the middle but the ending ( last season and finale) hits you ..
And it hits you hard.

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.

Underrated

This show was so much better than I expected it to be and did travel into some unexpected directions. And so much more exciting than expected.

One thing it did do is flip expectations and make the husband the one with the most heart. I don't find that to be woke as they're both skilled and dangerous players but the husband is the most easy to relate to. Some of his actions weigh on him.

Not woke

Interesting character study

This is part character study of a well off family with many secrets they're fighting to keep buried and partly a slow boiling thriller . The first season is the most suspenseful but I found their unraveling over the course of the show pretty intriguing and not boring at all. .
There's really nothing here that should qualify as woke.
The last season did get a bit rushed as they wanted to end the show early since they'd lost permission to film in that location ..

Anything but..

This show might be as far away from woke as one can get. Brutal at times in showing some of the worst that men can be.

And close your ears if you have the slightest problem with bad language.

Better than expected

I really didn't expect to like this so much but it's really a good show. I think I expected it to be badly comedic or ham fisted but despite some occasional undertones he's playing it with a great deal of charm . And he's still got it.
....Entertaining. Not woke

Woke?

I might call this a lot of things but woke probably wouldn't come to mind.

For the most part it's testosterone driven but I suppose that Gemma, Jax's mom, might seem woke to some because of all her power and influence in an all boys club. But successful malignant manipulators come in all genders where she happens to reign supreme and Gemma's having been married to the clubs founder gives her more than average leeway to do her stuff.

There are some nasty scenes of a male rape but that could not be considered woke. Rape is bad whoever the victim.
There is also the appearance of a trans character near the end. I'd almost forgotten. It honestly seemed, at the time, more an inventive way to get another former "The Shield" actors (Walter Groggin) inserted into the show.

Excellent sci fi

This show should've had multiple seasons but got shafted by the writers strike. Well written and acted and not the slightest bit woke.
But atleast with 22 eps it's the current equivalent of 2 or 3 seasons today and it does come around to answer at least some questions.

Charlie Cox rocks

I personally remember no woke elements. Charlie Cox takes a scenario I thought ludicrous ( not a previous Marvel fan) and gives it life and makes it entirely believable.
