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.

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 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.
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.
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.
