Wokeness 4/5
Not Woke Very Woke
Overall 2/5
Poor Excellent

Littered with woke comments, whether it's pro-woke ideals or anti-"non woke"(?) ideals. I was exceptionally bothered at the implications that pornography would be present in "the good place". Second season eases up a bit but it's still fairly degenerate and borderline blasphemous.

From Good To Bad

This show begins with a display of strong, keen, confident men, albeit criminals, during the historical post-WWI late 1910's England and evolves into a fantasy world where men drastically switch up their beliefs and "bad-ass" women run their lives.
I really enjoyed the first season, and second season as well, by the middle of the 5th season I feel like I'm nearly watching a different show. It happens gradually, you will barely notice it. There is a decent and unlikely shift in core principals forced onto the main character, a major fallacy in portions of it being historical, glaringly villainous comparisons to modern politics ("England First!" implication: bad, evil. and of course they make the character associated with the movement one of the worst people in the show), unlikely female behaviors and feminist/communist/socialist subplots, etc.
This show seemingly aims to lead unscrupulous and unsuspecting minds to engineered conclusions of what is good and bad, and crushes any positivity or benefit in male strength, not to mention faith and belief in God, along the way.
When it gets boring they just kill some people off, and they also incorporate the very tired trope of: New Season, Episode 1 *introduce villain* -- Last Episode of Same Season *villain destroyed* : repeat.
This show defies human nature, reality, and history, instead pushing currently trending tropes in America into unlikely characters, portraying poor character, values, beliefs and actions.
Cringed when two women were (essentially) like "our husbands are crazy! we will divorce them, yeah!" *everything provided for them, not abused, given love, attention, and protection*

The main character stays pretty strong, aside from some forced changes in his core values, and carries the show on his shoulders. There is a lot more to say but, I may quit watching mid season 5, and other details aren't fresh. It could be assumed Netflix would do this to what could have been a great show altogether. I guess my advice would be: If at any point you feel like you want to quit watching, just trust that intuition, you won't be missing much.

Subtle, but present

The only man/white person portrayed as decent is needlessly gay, which is essentially revealed by a trip to his home where a man that is not him answers the door. All other men and white people are portrayed as weak, greedy, poor character, psychotic, etc. I'm not suggesting there shouldn't be movies with black female heroes, but it's tough to find a new movie, especially on netflix, that shows a single strong, respectable man, white person, or any positive family elements.

Every man in this film was portrayed as either psycho, rude, dishonest, unfaithful, or stupid. SPOILERS: But oh, the moral and polite "sex worker" is the unlikely hero, sure. but wait? She only saves herself and cares not of the deaths of the others, instead watches them burn after saving herself, while enjoying food. Also she wins a knife fight she realistically would have lost. Comparisons are made between prostitution and masters of service craft. This film had potential but really fell flat.
