Forced DEI strikes yet again
Season 1 was very good, with the only problem being that, intolerable, crazy ass Autumn, who doesn't seem to shower or wear a bra, and seems to get away with whatever she wants because she's free spirited yet empowered of course. 3rd wave feminist BS.
Season 2, however, must have different producers because it's totally woke now. Sheriff Joy, who as a female, native American, lesbian and at the top of the DEI Victim Hierarchy, always with her big ass, that 4 years living among the tribe did nothing to shrink, is sticking out in every scene. She's become the terminator, who apparently knows, Judo, Jujitsu and is an ace shooter who can take on any man in hand to hand combat. Typical sex swapping with Joy playing the role of a man. They've rewritten the scene where Royal accidentally shot his father in a hunting accident to, now, where he shot him to protect Joy, a complete stranger and "Indian," who they were hunting because they'd heard she killed white men. They're not happy enough woking-up season 2. They're going back to get their dirty little woke paws on season 1 narratives now.
The native Americans are populated with many strong fearless females who the story likes to revolve around because apparently all the men were born without tongues or brains. Yet they are poor victims while the writers try again and again to portray white frontiersmen as heartless and cruel. It's still OK to bash white men who aren't even on the list of the DEI Victim Hierarchy.
And when Joy stumbles back in time, guess who she runs into? She just happens to meet another female, native American, time traveler, lesbian vibes, who when meeting Joy from the future for the first time acts about as surprised as you'd expect when seeing an acquaintance at the super market. It ruins the episode.
Fuck the producers of this show for destroying whatever dignity the show had built in season 1!

Clear LGBTQ Agenda
So many obvious budding gay emotions between Riley and Val. So if you don't want your kid to be exposed to middle school lesbian themes, skip this one.

Forced LGBTQ Character!
To ensure inclusion and for no other reason, they made Raka the orangutan gay, yet his orientation serves no purpose. Stopped watching immediately.

DEI wins again!
Y'all can relax. They got one each: a white one, a black one and a middle eastern one! They're checking DEI boxes left and right on this one. And get ready for a heaping dose of girl-bossin'.
Can you guess who the evil ones will be? If you guessed hetero, rich, white males straight out of the 1% patriarchy, you win!
Of course the black one is a thick, sassy, well-spoken, female FBI agent sporting a Harvard jersey in her free time. That'll track well with black audiences. She looks more like a woman who should be running her own Motown bakery. She's also sporting about 7 piercings in each ear, you know, just like how all hetero female FBI agents do. Enjoy her in the chunky-hipped, Afro-clad yet ineffectual tactical weapons scenes.
They went ahead and made the FBI deputy director black, too. They say FBI leadership lacks diversity in real life but it ain't happening. Until then we'll resort to race-swapping. While you're at it, why not sex-swap and make the President of the United States a woman who's spoiled rotten son is the Lex Luthor of phone scammers.
The beekeeper pro-assassin they send to dispatch The Beekeeper is a super-long pony-tailed caricature of a bad ass, martial arts chick right out of street fighter; She lasts about 3 punches which was the only realistic part of the film. Hilarious! To further suspend reality, the FBI special reaction team, led by an Asian beta-male, is worthless. The hardened SEAL team and Delta Force mercenaries who apparently would miss the sky if they fired upwards, bungle his capture. Towards the end, some wacky, cowboy Kiwi mercenaries enter the scene to hilarious effect.
In the end, evil whitey is punished and even though The Beekeeper drops about 30 bodies, this movie can't decide if it's a light romp or a serious action. And if it can't take itself seriously, neither can I.

Typical feminist tropes
I know this movie is attempting to highlight the absurdity of modern wokeness, but it does so only from the "protagonists'" view. I'd say the Old Dads are more the antagonists. In the environment they live in, thier viewpoints are canceled out by the sheeple's acceptance of wokeness out of fear of getting canceled themselves, making them look like they're in the wrong for not boot-licking the DEI narrative that Hollywood loves to cram down our throats (again, out of fear of being canceled). Also the film doesn't take a look at it's own 3rd wave feminist elements. Throughout the story the men are painted as dinosaurs, out of touch, toxically masculine and in need of change just for being men. Have you ever heard of a husband getting mad and making his wife pack up and leave their home and children? The day this happens and no one freaks out, women will have achieved equality. I'm guessing they don't want to be equal if they have to suffer what men do. What was Burr thinking?

Feminist tropes, race swapping and generous handicap representation.
At least a few of the characters are awash in the modern feminist tropes of bumbling, clumsy men and powerful, one punch, savior type women. The show is damn good regardless, though, because of Gary Oldman. Guess which member of in the charming mixed race couple is killed off? Bye, bye whitey. Couldn't off his mate. She's the black, physically challenged one. In season two he is race swapped by a black male agent who's rather a simp in S03. By S03, the female agents of Slough House have morphed into alpha males with tits (yes, they are disgusting). Plus there is at least one other physically challenged character, I'm assuming in lieu of LGBTQ character injection which would serve no purpose in the story. They didn't artificially force trans-characters down our throats in this one at least.

Another good show infected by DEI ideology
I like the show but it hasn't escaped the Woke, DEI agenda any more than most shows. We've got a hispanic president of the US. And while the CIA is 71% white and 82% male, somehow there's and a black female CIA director, really? Finally we've got a female lead representing folks in the round demographic; Abbie Cornish. They've really managed to ensure the story is inclusive this season.

Secret Invasion
So, Beto is a skrull, and chooses to wear the skin of a black man in Russia with a population of 0.04% Afro Russian people? He won't stand out. And you can't have Marvel without most of the power positions being occupied by girl-bosses. Oh, and wait till you see the skrulls frolicking around their hidden community; just another innocent minority race being suppressed by "the man." Did you notice how G'iah's boss ordered her around with animosity? Yep, you can't have a white superior who isn't a bad guy.
