A woke show, but well made


Make no mistake this is a woke show.

The head of unit 303 of MI6 is a white woman, deputy is a black man, the agent in charge is Bianca, a black woman, the white male agents were fetching coffee for her and treated like dirt. Bianca is very much a pompous jerk.

All the white men outside of MI6 are either bad or gay, that is about summing it up. The Jackal had some gay actions in it too, but that was in the movies as well.

Putting those aside it is still a well done show, because it is quite easy to watch, I almost watched the entire season in one go, that is very rare for me.

I hate mediocre woke shows have nothing else to offer, twist plot to for the sake of "the message", but this show other than the casting there aren't much in your face lecturing.

The ending is a surprise, not a twist, just a surprise, and I will definitely watch the season 2. Yes, there is clearly going to be a season 2.

It ended up being an excellent show. Exciting. Ending was good. Redmayne was terrific. Looking forward to S2.

Agree on all accounts.

The fact that it is woke is part of what made it such a good show.. I honestly have never understood what the big gripe over diversity has ever been about anyway..

I never really cared about whether a show is woke or not. The only thing I ever cared about was the quality of the show.

Woke shows are usually weaker because the creative people do not have free reign in their creative process, or even worse all they want was to show their agenda, don't even care about the story.

At least this one is not about the later.

It must feel pathetic being you and not be able to enjoy anything.

I enjoyed the show, I am just warning the others.

Still I don't really like it, the "wokeness". If I noticed what they were doing, then they were not doing a good job, because it is distracting.

The best way I think would be they do some, but not so much.

Go back to the Ozarks, drink Moonshine, and enjoy your life.

You guys need to learn the proper manner of speaking, because you all sounded like you were on something.

Did you guys ever insulted someone and get their agreement or support?

Didn't Hilary Clinton show you how stupid what she did was?

Is that possible I am talking to card carrying retarded people?

Because your people are clearly a liability to your cause, whatever that was.

Spoken like a true Ozarkian.
