Another opportunity thrown under the train
Coming straight from Odenkirk’s production company, I was actually hopeful it wouldn’t be like the last Nobody 2. Once again, you really can’t trust anything in the entertainment world, you gotta watch it yourself.
And just like with the first NOBODY, I thought they’d play it safe and ditch all the woke stuff and DEI bullshit (well, not that the first one was perfect, but it was watchable).
Nope… not even close.
But here’s the thing: the movie starts off promising. The first 20/30 minutes introduce the characters and it feels like it’s gonna be a straight-up dumb action/comedy where they just kill everything that moves. For a few moments it even tries to be that… but then the obvious woke writing kicks in and just ruins the whole thing.
In the end it’s just another completely skippable movie. I was really hoping it wasn't like that. It has its moments buuuut
You’re honestly better off watching any old-school action/comedy classic you’ve been saving for. If you’re in the mood for that kind of vibe, I recommend go do that instead.

A total letdown
The premise is actually really strong: a post-apocalyptic world where a virus killed almost all men, leaving just one guy alive. Could’ve been a fascinating story about society collapsing and rebuilding.
Instead, it’s a total letdown. They ignore the big picture and focus on boring personal dramas, love triangles, and petty bullshit.
The main character is especially awful. They turned him into the dumbest, most unlikeable idiot possible. You root against him from episode one.
On top of that, it’s loaded with heavy-handed woke propaganda. Almost every man is portrayed as garbage or irrelevant, while women are shown as superior. There are constant cheap shots at conservatives and men in general. One scene even had a trans guy saying men “earned” being hated. That was the last straw.
Bad pacing, weak writing, flat acting, and almost zero interesting world-building.
Massive wasted potential. Just another infuriating, preachy show that deserves to be cancelled.
Not worth watching.

Not woke, just a Direct to TV-movie type of film.
That’s it!
I guess by the standards Disney has gotten us used to, that’s what makes it “special” ??? Not been woke and the fact that the story is set before his latest appearances in the other series?
It feels like one of two things: either they originally planned a much longer movie with a huge storyline, but when they looked at the budget they decided to cut all the woke stuff… ooor they’re testing the waters to see if the woke mafia inside the company will tolerate a story where no woman is telling Frank what to do.
Honestly, there’s no way to know for sure. What you can tell is that it feels like a regular TV episode and not even one of the best ones.
The only thing to highlight: it has about 20 minutes of very entertaining action.
That’s all.

Woke Fest
Coming from private producers, I gave it a shot, but man, it’s super woke. I couldn’t even calculate the exact percentage of wokeness because both times I tried to watch it I fell asleep lol. That alone says a lot, not just about how woke it is, but how entertaining it isn’t.
Straight to the point:
There’s a ton of role reversal. Every single male character is portrayed as dumb, useless, or straight-up incompetent, and they all get humiliated or put down by a woman or some feminine figure. The oldest daughter’s dialogues are clearly written by a militant activist (or a whole team of them), because she’s the only one dropping feminism comments left and right (at least in what I managed to watch).
That’s pretty much it. I can’t say much more because I don’t think I got past the 30-minute mark. And honestly, in any normal commercial movie of this length, they would’ve already given you the full plot by then.

Interesting premise, woke production
After watching the first two full seasons, I can say the series has a really interesting premise that can hook people who like this genre, but everything gets handled and resolved through a woke lens.
To be clear about the kind of wokeness we're talking about: the very first episode (honestly, the first 20 minutes) is the ultimate test of tolerance. Right from the start, you can see how they portray white men, people of color, homosexuality, and women in positions of power making all the big decisions.
In my case, the first time I tried watching it I couldn’t stand how woke it was and dropped it. What made me give it a second chance were some random clips I saw on social media and ads that looked pretty interesting.
So, after checking the comments here and already knowing it was woke, I decided to try it again more out of curiosity about the premise than anything else. Now that I’ve finished both seasons and even rewatched some episodes, I’m raising the bar for wokeness. Just so you get an idea: it’s a Canadian production but everything is tied to the United States, so that already tells you the flavor of wokeness you’re getting.
Now, is it entertaining?
Yeah, if you enjoyed the later seasons of The Walking Dead when it turned into a soap opera where they waste time talking about their feelings. Here it feels like the emotional scenes are overdone and unnecessary, even if the script tries to justify them.
And finally:
Does the wokeness ruin it? I think that’s where they’re gonna fuck it up. Honestly, this isn’t the first woke series I’ve started, but I usually end up dropping them because the political messaging ruins everything. In this case it’s different. What’s actually starting to hurt the story is how you can tell the writers are fighting with each other. They contradict themselves from one episode to the next, making some things feel stupid or pointless. And I’m not even talking about the woke stuff. The problem is that the show isn’t based on any book or existing material, so a lot of it feels like it was written “on the go.” That leaves you wondering: Are they gonna screw me over like they did with Lost, Game of Thrones, or those other series where you invest a ton of time only to get a shit ending? Or do they actually have a real plan from beginning to end?
P.S.:
A couple of warnings for those who, like me, are drawn to the premise and want to know if it’s actually worth watching.
1- For the purposes of this site, I’ll be upfront: it’s very woke. The male lead who plays the Sheriff (who’s actually a really good actor, and the acting in general is solid) ends up getting kinda sidelined or belittled by female characters. Even when it’s not super forced, his actions are often reinforced or validated by something a woman says → which doesn’t really reflect reality.
SPOILER ALERT:
2- From the very beginning there’s a Karen-type character with tomboy vibes who’s the head of a communist organization that’s keeping the town divided (or at least that’s what they make you believe in the first episode). By the middle of season 2, she fully turns into this matriarch who struts around like she’s got a massive dick swinging in every single scene.
SAFE TO READ:
3- Lastly, I did a bit of digging and it looks like the show is already confirmed to end with a 5th season. Whether it sticks the landing is far from guaranteed though it’s from the same producers as Lost, and nowadays all their projects are packed with militant activist types. So yeah, that’s something to keep in mind.
Hope this helps.

Well, this one’s tricky
I waited quite a while for someone to watch it first so I could know if it was woke or not. But since nobody said anything, I went ahead and watched the entire first season.
Straight to the point: Is it woke? Yes, it is. It checks all the diversity boxes, and there’s (NO SPOILERS) one character that fills the typical “poor victim” quota you usually see in Apple productions.
But is it entertaining?
Yeah, honestly. Even with the diversity elements and a character doing some occasional girl-bossing, it doesn’t ruin the story. I was actually surprised they didn’t lean harder into the usual woke topics they normally push in Apple shows.
So I started watching the second season.
By Apple’s woke standards, this one is pretty watchable.

Faithful to the original story
A solid continuation of the original saga, staying true to all the relationships and characters without forcing anything in, and keeping the same logic it always had; one in which there has always been a diverse group of characters from all over Aang’s world, as he recruited them and learned from them.
Excellent.

Completely designed to push the message
The main character is a girl who, right from the start, loses her parents and ends up in orphanages (which they don’t even bother explaining). By the time she’s just 13, she’s made so many mistakes that they transfer her like she’s some adult criminal, until she ends up in a detention center where they supposedly “need her.” And somehow she has this extrasensory sense to figure out that they only want her there so they can hit some political quota and make the place look good. Then, with a whole ghetto attitude, she goes off on the directors and basically anyone she runs into.
There isn’t a single male character until one finally shows up, “Raúl,” who used to be “Ramona.” lol! I mean, you can’t get more woke than that! And the only white character that shows up is a grumpy white guy who I’m pretty sure is the antagonist.
I lasted 22 minutes watching this trash. Total waste of time.

Fucking hilarious
I gotta say, this is a really fun movie if you wanna have a good time with completely ridiculous, over-the-top shit. The humor is dumb as hell but in the best predictable way, and the plot is all over the place on purpose and that’s exactly what makes it funny. It’s a script designed for you to just turn your brain off and laugh your ass off following these two dudes who work at a condom company, with all the cheesy, dirty jokes you’d expect from that kind of product.
Super fucking good!
Zero woke bullshit in it!
Enjoy the ride!

And another universe destroyed
Another series that started with a really original and super interesting narrative in the first two seasons, but it got completely wrecked once the DEI rules kicked in. By the last season, they’d turned the protagonists into the villains because, you know, straight cis men and women are apparently evil in the eyes of these militant artists.
Another one I’m not even gonna bother going into details about.
A universe that had so much potential to keep unfolding with a tight, engaging plot across tons of seasons… totally destroyed by socialist and communist propaganda.
