Woke

I expected that it would be low rated because it makes certain people uncomfortable but I liked it. I always thought Lamorne Morris was the funniest in The New Girl.

There are a lot of things Woke does right. The cinematography/directing is great; they definitely had a vision and created it. From the color palette to the shots themselves. I particularly like the costume design as well, adding a bit more to each character style.

Where the show seems to falter is the foundation it's based on. The lessons are very heavy handed, which you might expect from the title "Woke" but they still seem to hit you over the head with them. Perhaps to drive them home but it does seem a bit overdone. The writing is okay but I actually find the supporting characters to be the most compelling and entertaining. Blake and T Murph nail their on screen relationship and it's hilarious.

All in all I would consider this a good watch with the homies and a harmless way to approach deep issues about American society as a minority. Does it have its downs? For sure. But it also has plenty of ups to keep you watching.

I'm a Black Man in America. So I can definitely relate to the subject matter. And maybe that's why I don't like the show. I miss the days when Black Shows could just be Good shows without constantly pushing a narrative. It's not that funny of a show. And it's a little heavy handed. But it has some real funny moments. Defintely worth a pandemic watch. And some of y'all need to get of y'all feelings lol. It's just a tv show. Y'all so darn personal about this stuff.

After 2 episodes I'm sad. Woke is not funny. I thought it's gonna be a parody of being woke. The talking objects just made it worse.

I loved Wonderfalls because of the talking objects!

Watching youtube is better than this!

I'm a Single White Heterosexual Female Living in San Francisco (yes, I'm taking on the format of the "Top Review" here) and I think this show is pretty damn funny, many times totally, ironically, and sadly capturing the essence of life in SF ala 2022 for sure.

Season 1 episode 7 was especially SF-on and the bus scene hilarious. (Disclaimer: Nothing at all against Kubby, I love all animals, most are cooler than most humans, but it was the SF humanoids' reactions that were so spot on and so sadly hilarious in this episode.)

And the actors and everyone else involved in making this show do a great job.
