Because of a knee injury, I've done little but watch TV in the last few weeks. And I found some fantastic stuff that's not woke at all. And they're all from the last year or so:
- Blackbird
- Dark Winds
- The Offer
- The Bear (sort of)
None of these shows had gays or trannies or whatnot. There were a few 'strong female characters', but they were mostly ignorable - except in the case of the Bear, where it detracted a bit from the story.
Dark Winds was astonishing from a woke point of view. It's set on an Indian reservation, but other than one or two verbal barbs that are basically humour, there's nothing about the suffering of the Natives.
I hope this is a wave of the future.
Keep in mind: These aren't necessarily recommendations because of quality, but because no part of them were 'woke' in any meaningful way. I did, however, like all of them.
Blackbird and the Offer are one-offs. The Bear will almost certainly be season one bait. Dark Winds -- I'm holding out hope! I can't tell you how wonderful it was to watch a Native indian show that was almost entirely about Native indians being Native indians. Of course... they can't go too far into the reality, because glue-sniffing 5 year olds don't make for sympathetic story-telling.
