What would your major examples be of shows that started of well but then became woke or pushed the usual "trendy" agendas? The first one that comes to mind for me would be Westworld. The first season was amazing, and the second season wasn't so bad, but I stopped watching after a few episodes of the third season when the one lady took out a criminal organization and then didn't kill the boss of the organization because she respected a woman in power.
If I were to bet, I would say this next season of Stranger Things will really sideline the four guys and star the shoehorned lesbian chick. The last season was the last I was going to watch because it seemed to turn into another girl power show.
I know it is a movie but I thought Logan was a good movie but the more I think of it the more I realize that was the first example I saw of the trend of the man dying and passing the torch to a much better female. I can see the new Indiana Jones movie doing that.
The Simpsons? It was always a bit shaky but tolerable, but now it's unwatchable trash.
Other than that, nearly everything on Netflix fits the bill. One series without women's agenda then full "kill all men".
I’m 40 and have been watching the Simpsons since it came on. Well always have the golden years of 90s Simpsons
I still can't believe they had an episode about The Squad.
Surprised Family Guy hasn't followed it down the toilet.
I haven't seen Family Guy's latest stuff but I'm pretty sure they did follow it down the toilet. Several years back Seth McFarlane announced he'd stop making gay jokes to be more sensitive or whatever, and we all know that never ends well. I watched his movie Ted for the first time a year or two ago and remember thinking how much was in there that would get him called called all kinds of -ists now. 2012 was a completely different time. They certainly have enough to cancel him if they're ever inclined to do so.
Your comment made me think about just now sudden all of this feels. 8 years isn't a very long time, but the entire media landscape is completely changed from 2013. It feels like the Marxist cultural revolution happened overnight.
Some Family Guy episodes have mocked the left surprisingly. The right gets mocked too but he has made fun of woke nonsense. I honestly wish CBS gave him Star Trek. Orville wasn’t bad.
And to think they used to mock the kind of people they now pander to.
They used to mock everyone, gently. They finally found their audience.
I'm similar to you, but I think the Simpsons was perfectly good well into the 2000s. Maybe not as good, but still better than most other TV.
It really didn't get bad bad until TDS set in. It was crazy watching it happen. It was like the entire writing staff heard their mkultra activation phase simultaneously. I still don't understand how humans can change modes like a robot, but they can. I've seen it.
True. I enjoy quite a few episodes in the 2000s. Even this past season had some good ones. TDS definitely affected it.
I used to watch The Simpsons for many years. However at some point (a few years ago) they had a couple of woke trash episodes back to back, e.g. the stereotypical "girls can do computers too" story. That was it for me. Never looked back.
