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.
Godzilla Minus One was preachy and political, but in a timeless way that isn't centered on anything modern. And it was probably one of the best movies I've seen in years, completely obliterating the "save the planet" slop the Legendary movies have become.
I didn't hate GvK very much but I hate Kong in general so it was gritted. Them focusing nearly the entire next movie on him and the humans (who suck in every movie except Godzilla 2014) turned that one into actual trash. Especially as the writing gets worse every iteration thanks to the guy behind Death Note (American) doing it.
