Typical TV
There's so much woke in even the more average TV dramas that it's hard to tell what is and what isn't.
Like so many TV dramas, the FIRST season contains little to no woke. In fact, it’s so normal, that I might have even suspected a conservative / liberal balance of producers and writers on there.
We have a likable male lead, and a generally male police force. There are a few stereotypical "Anything you can do I can do better" women, but they're usually guest characters - oops, I mean character, because there's only one personality - and therefore easy to roll ones' eyes at and ignore.
Though "the boss" is inevitably female (because ALL TV bosses are) she's not an emasculating hardass. She's kind of a young Captain Janeway type, who doesn't throw her weight around, make woke-ass speeches, or whine about being a downtrodden vagina.
There seems to be no real political message to the story. In fact, there's even a hardline conservative guest character in there partway through - gun-toting, God-fearing, pulling-on-the-bootstraps and fighting for his rights kind of guy. Stereotype, I know, but! He's the good guy, and wins against the woke corporation in the end. Plus! They didn't make him a racist, either. So that was a pleasant surprise.
There is a little LGBTPedo here and there. Gay guest characters, a few lesbo lovers sprinkled in, and a full-on pedo raping a 15-year-old like it's no big deal. But they're all guest characters, and yes, the pedo gets arrested in his story.
HOWEVER!! Second season takes a HARD WOKE TURN!!
They get rid of the likable male boss and replace him with another stereotypical rude, sassy, black female too young for the job who throws her weight around in EVERY scene. In fact, she’s so overly involved in the investigations of this particular team that she’s practically the fifth member of the team. The more likable boss from the first season never did that. If there is ever a person in power - FBI boss, judge, doctor or anything, it is invariably female - unless it’s the bad guy.
In addition, in every other episode there is now a white racist / white supremacist. Again, again, again, trying to pound into the audience that white men are all racists, and only white people can be the bad guys. There are ever full-on speeches about Heil Hitler, Santas debating that Santa should be open to all races and creeds - lectures, full diatribe lectures on progressivism that lend nothing to the story.
In addition, the once likable Captain Janeway team leader starts quipping feminist stuff, and suddenly the story takes on a “poor downtrodden vagina, being talked down to by the white men again” feel.
It happens far too often - the first season draws you in, the second season gets destroyed by woke messaging.
I’m not watching to the end of the second season, nor anything beyond. Who cares what happens at this point.

Dull, minor woke
Though the film suffers dreadfully from an overloaded script, long, slow pacing, and a cast that's 20 years too old for their roles, the usually more gritty woke of the Star Trek world is actually very minimal this time.
Just a quip here and there, stuff like "men, ladies, and transgenders," and emasculation sprinkled on.
All very ignorable, laughable even, since none of it is central to the story.
So nah, no real wokeness. No racism, no politics, no feminazis, no real LGBTPedos. Still, doesn't really save the film. Watch it at 1.25 speed for a little better pacing. Better yet, someone with Premiere and a lot of time on his hands could recut this film to be better.

Mean streets, no woke
Four adopted brothers avenge their elderly mother after she's gunned down by gangs in the bad side of town. Very violent, shocking at times, but badass all around.
No woke. No forced "visibility," no politics, no feminazis, no lectures, no LBGTPedo.

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am
There is little to no woke in here. A simple story of revenge in a mysterious mobster underworld. There are a few feminazi characters of high-keeled nymphettes beating up bulky men ten times their size, but I've come to accept those characters as a kind of fetishism.
May John Wick live to bash the heads in of all animal-killers.

Erm... what?
One of the strangest series ? films ? I've ever seen. I think the producers just gave a bunch of rando film students a "house" as a set and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
While not really "woke," it's freakish and kind of dull. Definitely off the wall, quite literally in some tales. Possibly good if the viewer is very, very high.

No woke, all heart
A beautiful story of a kid taken from a broken home and given the opportunity of a lifetime to pursue that which he was born to do - play football.
True story, too, so it seems!
No woke. No racism, no politics, no LGBTPedo, no lectures, none of that. Just love.

Great film with only minimal feminazism
Back in the day, action flicks like Alien, Terminator and Fifth Element would have a female lead and not even be weird. This one seems a little too modern, so you know the lead is a chick just because the director wanted to check an inclusion box.
But when you get past that, it's a good film in itself. Danny Trejo is one of the best actors Hollywood has. Damn, that presence.
So minimal woke, but otherwise well worth the watch.

Awesomeness
Even though La La Land sucked, the director wasn't originally slated for bad musicals. Whiplash was his expensive, well-crafted indies debut.
A drumming student clashes with his hard-ass teacher and makes his way in the world. Ever thought an entire soundtrack could be crafted on a drum? Here's your answer.

Chick flick
Well, it's typical Disney. A standard chick flick where the men are nincompoops and women rule the world. The only redeeming factor was Angelina Jolie, and she knows it, everyone knows it.
It's worth watching just for her, the original Lara Croft.
If you accept it as a Disney Chick Flick, then no, it's not "woke" per se.

Before Marvel went gay
This was actually a fun movie, with a muscle-y meathead lead and gods and aliens battling it out. All of the characters were fun, and Loki really stole the show. Way back when superheroes were still cool.
