Any modern show that doesn’t start woke will probably become woke the longer it goes on. I’m just hoping Better Call Saul can reach the finish line without fucking it all up with socjus somehow.
Occasionally SJWs produce good content, but always when the supposedly 'bad' guys are unintentionally the good guys.
Oh no Dr. Evil is for traditional families, hard work, and integrity he's so evil!!!
In this case, I have no doubt Netflix thinks they are mocking Johnny and his out of touch ways, but when I'm watching it I just hear him making good points. I also enjoyed watching the show, especially the first season (pre-Netflix), but pretty much all from waiting for him to call somebody a pussy or idiot.
In the very, very first episode, Archie flat out says "No one is better than anyone else". So whatever anyone else may call him, he was not a supremacist. He just called things the way he saw them.
Contrast Archie with George Jefferson. Archie had an abusive, working-class father. He probably never went past grade 8, a lot of men of his generation didn't bother with high school, they went straight to work as teenagers.
Jefferson? Well, Weezie called him out on that "son of a sharecropper" stuff (and considering a sharecropper is basically a self-employed farming contractor, that's not really anything bad) - he was himself the son of a small businessman. So he was both successful, and a liar.
And I don't think I ever recall the N word coming out of Archie's mouth, but it sure as hell came out of George's (an episode of The Jeffersons, when an old navy buddy of George's attempted to assault/rape Weezie.)

Niggers are the shitty blacks, within black folk. Learnt this from Chris Rock.
Tory's way too strong to begin with. Once the kids reach high school age, the boys should basically wipe the floor with the girls in any real fight. Of course she's also got the insane psycho killer pass....
I watch it with my wife and kids. We all like it. I don't really see it moving to the left. I see it as a pretty neutral take on modern society viewed through a lens of the 80s. There is wokeness, but there's also Johnny's common sense dismissal of it.
There is a message of seeking strength and self improvement. The students start off as nerds getting bullied by physically stronger kids. They learn confidence by training in martial arts, and overcome their bullies.
It's very pro masculine, in that it explores the resolution of conflicts by face to face, direct fights or arguments, rather than passive aggressive ninnying.
Also, the show basically centeres around the damage done to boys who grow up without a father.
It's probably the most anti-left show on Netflix. So you are probably a fucking pussy who plays video games all day, and has never been punched in the face.
I got gifted the Fortnite skin? Does that count? I wore it twice, I think it's cursed. Died off the drop both times. Rage quit and played Forza Horizon 5 instead.
Anyone know what game I should pick up next? Maybe that should be a thread of its own.
Anyway, I guess I'll ask the obvious, why do people here still have Netflix, after Cuties and 400m shows about female murderer protagonists?
Why the fuck do you still play Microsoft owned games? Goddamn, don't be a fucking hypocrite and act holier than thou while you're still playing their bullshit.
And if people DO have Netflix, you aren't wrong. WHY? Pirate the fucking shit if you must watch.
Same reason I use Microsoft branded office software and Microsoft Windows. Because it's superior to the alternatives. That and that 7% of my cash worth is in MSFT now. Last few days haven't been fun.
Economic reasons aside, what's the alternative? Soyny? Ubisoft? EA?
I am also going to be very honest with Netflix: Its also, IMO, a lot more hit than miss. They have a pretty decent anime library, and some of my favorite movies where made by them (specifically, The Highwaymen, Wheelman, Extraction, and Polar). So I do stick around with them.
Also, I still have yet to see Kai, but I still enjoy it being popular. Because the company I work for is one of the ones that got contracted to make merch for the show, so it directly helps me that its doing well.

Better call sails last season is coming up right? I hope so too. Getting woke or bait and switch is standard it seems
So far Seal Team has been refreshingly unwoke. Yellowstone has also been pretty consistent.
I don’t have Netflix but I’ve heard Cobra Kai is the way to do a sequel without crapping on what came before. How did they do girl power?
Ugh. But overall it’s good? I remember someone from Geeks and Gamers said it’s the opposite of Last Jedi and doesn’t crap on old legends

What it a racially written scene, or non white 'friend' in the scene
Cool. I’ll either get the dvd or sail the high seas
It's the only way to fly.

Thanks for letting me know season 4 was out.
It's ok, surprisingly non woke but we'll see how long it holds out for.
I saw the first season when it was free and enjoyed it.

Black Panther the TV series?
That's the spirit. Maybe if you get mad enough, your balls will finally drop.

I've been playing an Ocarina of Time Randomizer and its probably the funnest thing I've played in years, and completely free.

It's not worth pirating.
