As per the title, are there any feature or TV length productions from 2019 to the present that you think are diamonds in the rough? Any that truly put good writing and characterization first and don't have any woke gender or anti-populism/Republican nonsense?
If they do have any political leanings, are they at least not so preachy or heavy handed about it?
I think the discussions on this site about the overwhelming proliferation of heavily left leaning politics in pop culture are compelling.
However, I thought it would be cool to highlight the gems that break free of that nonsense and bring the depth and creativity back to these mediums.
It'd be nice to show people examples of good works out there so that they know they're not alone in just wanting good entertainment and know that it's still possible. Even if said works don't quite have mainstream popularity.
So I'd love to see what examples of good TV shows or movies free of wokeness or are at least not overly political you can think of.
Ted lasso is super woke.
Interracial age gap relationship with an older childless woman.
Girlboss who values her job more than her boyfriend/nearly fiancée.
The whole gay acceptance subplot.
The anti-African-immigrant pity story. Basically anything involving that character.
Ted lasso being divorced and leaving his kid to go work overseas for no particular reason.
The stereotypical wise black woman trope used in season 2 that’s barely mentioned again in season 3. The depiction of therapy as a whole.
