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.
I want to be clear, these aren't the most amazing ever or anything, but I rewatched them a few months back after an extremely disappointing experience with modern entertainment (Ambulance, don't fucking watch that cancer), so they're fresh in my mind. Yeah, I don't watch many new movies.
Boss Level (2020). Not perfect, but free from a lot of modern bullshit, has a masculine lead (male, since you have to specify nowadays!), a hero's journey, and even a message of fatherhood. Also, although not directly videogame related, sort of captures the feel of a video game. Pretty good, nonwoke, nonstop action movie.
Baby Driver (2017). Slightly outside of your window, but still worth a mention. Another fun action movie, without any woke nonsense. Quite fun, and has some great scenes. Here's a scene from the movie, relatively early on. Is he slow? And the song.
