Great show, one woke line
The show is surprisingly good and Reacher is allowed to be himself and the show knows well he is the main attraction. There’s one “woke” line from Neagley towards the end of the series, and the rest is woke free
Don’t get why people here write a show off automatically and bring the woke meter all the way up due to a small issue. You guys want “wokeness” to change, it’s never going to happen if one bitches over things that ARENT woke. A very common occurrence on this site………

Not Woke, Cautionary Tale Of Extremism
Great show based on the Lafferty brothers (who are very real) and Andrew Garfield kills it as the fictional (but based on a real detective) Jeb Pyre.
The show is based on the murders by the Laffertys and the harsh treatment of those who don’t conform to strict LDS views whether by not supporting polygamy, the writings of Joseph Smith, etc.
My one flaw with the show exactly however is it can drag on with backstory, building up characters other than the Pyre household.
Great watch overall on a very real group of people , even if it has some fictional elements .

Woke Is Abundant Here
Only made it through the first episode watching with family, but there is an opening dream sequence of a group of women standing up and saying “Me too!” to a drunk, sexually aggressive, white male on a train.
The antagonist is shamed by his wife before she dies and is also shamed in this manner by the shows protagonist.
There is a Harvey Weinstein reference coming from the antagonist as well (bahahahaha!)
There are many other films and shows with an intelligent antagonist that is detained facing off against a great protagonist (Silence Of The Lambs, Mindhunter, Under The Banner Of Heaven, etc.)
This isn’t it.

Fantastic Show
David Fincher, is the director of Zodiac, Fight Club, Gone Girl, and many other great films.
He hit it out of the park with this show as well. Shame it isn’t yet renewed for a third season.
