Five out of six episodes in the books. Thus far? Virtually every major character is both white and male. No gay shit. No girl boss shit. Positive portrayals of men and masculinity. Minimal or no millennial writing. The show appears to be unapologetically targeting the traditional male audience. It's a complete 180 from the last decade of feminized DEI trash.
How did this get approved??
More seriously: yes, this is undoubtedly the "reconciliation" phase of the leftist takeover. We're expected to come crawling back to Hollywood because they've been magnanimous enough to offer us a few scraps of quality targeted entertainment.
But look at the bright side: imagine how miserable these woke executives and producers must have been reading scripts and watching dailies that featured almost no women, minorities, or gays lol
Forgot to add: the show is universally beloved online. Gee, I wonder why...
People's standards for "not woke" are incredibly low because they're desperate for something. I hear you. I've thought the same too. "Not woke" nowadays is like woke from the early 00s. Hardly based.
Call me when they've got a new series where the main character is a White male who slaps women's asses in public, backhands his girlfriend if she speaks out of line, uses retarded, faggot and nigger is casual conversation and the storyline is about how he saves the world from marxists.
At this point, people will take heavy-handed allegory and call it not-woke, just because it is, at least, still allegory and not just direct smashing to the face. Thumbscrews still firmly attached, but loosened a bit, and there was much rejoicing.
