Woke

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.

I am a right of the middle type of person - and I 100% respect this show. I think it is important to have a show that more than likely and accurately describes black voices in a white liberal dominated society (ala San Fran) - the show hits more than it misses for me .. i could easily say "oh this is just PC BS trying to be shoved in my face" but it isn't - I truly think the scenarios shown in the show truly display a black voice whose journey to activism and fighting for his voice to be heard (which I wholeheartedly support) is difficult in a white dominated movement, because they truly want change ... at times if it feels they make fun of the woke movement and white liberals as being empty or nothing more than a virtue signal. I think the show feels real and at times misses which is why I don't think it is great by any means, but definitely watchable as Lamorne Morris is great.

It's a humorous quirky show with good actors. It did throw in the kitchen sink of current culture issues and how one person is navigating them. The writers didn't create enough character development for him or the title to named Woke. But he definitely got Cancelled-- so that might have curbed expectations. Yet, it is clever and I love his imaginary animated "friend". Watch the entire series and bring some popcorn! :)

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!

Loved this first season. It captures the anxiety, uncertainty and confusion of having your eyes opened to the world the way it is instead of the way you want it to be. It's an uncomfortable place to be, and every episode this season reflects Keef's fits and starts into the new world. He makes mistakes and questionable decisions. He keeps his anger pushed down only for it to surface in unproductive ways. We see Keef try this season, and by the end, it looks like he might have hit his stride. I'm looking forward to season two.
