For me it was woke AF but the ratings at woke.ratedby.app seem to be quite low, am I the only one?

I need to watch it but I have heard good things. What was woke? Was there a lecture on racism or sexism?
There are a couple parts where the black detective in a small town in Georgia complains about racism, directly and indirectly. People are shitty to him multiple times because he is black, and I'm gonna be honest that seems pretty par for the course for the area, especially when the characters are antagonists.
The main female character bitches several times about how she isn't a weak little girl or doesn't need protecting, but in the end is almost entirely useless hiding behind things while the others do the work so take that as you will.
I think it was much less woke than your average new release and a decent show, nothing groundbreaking but I was entertained.
I would still say in modern times it wouldn’t be often for a black person to experience the kind of racism the media likes to push. Well the media wants everyone to believe it’s 1900.
But thanks for the heads up. I’ve heard that too. That it isn’t all that wine compared to most shows today.
Yea the majority of it is kind of them like...insinuating that he isn't welcome in their town for example, but it's purely an antagonistic thing. The old black barber in the show has been there his entire life and seems pretty chill, cause he isn't a detective investigating people doing bad shit, so it's pretty fitting.
He's also a native, the detective is from Boston and they don't like him for that reason more than race.
Oh. Ok. I get what you mean
