Another show that feels the need to push **wokeness** over a coherent plot. Spends way to much time building up for season 2, with way to many characters, that it barely has a story that's worth watching. If your into watching random people party, do drugs, occasionally fight with terrible cgi, wokeness whenever possible, LGBT sex scenes out of nowhere added just to check that box, randomly added regular one night stands, psychopathic serial killer cops, evil capitalism, racism stories, women distrimination, injustice, and the imaginary nazi white supremacist undertone that every show seems to have, then this show is for you! (that's just from the first 4 episodes)

Basically its a showcase of random people, living woke degenerate drug fueled livestyles and o ya they have powers too! Here's a bunch of interesting historical back story flashbacks as well that aren't nearly explained enough because most of the show is wasted on letting you know just how woke everyone is. They spend so much time making sure they touched on every single wokeness point, they missed the boat on what the story was even about.

What you won't get is badass super hero fights nonstop like the boys. You get one of those and it's not great, in the later part of ep 1 or early 2. Hope we get more of them as I continue to watch it, but I've set the bar low for this one. The last few Netflix shows have felt more like a wokeness box checking exercise, that forget why people actually watch TV shows.

I wish we could remove politics from TV shows, but apparently the media knows what's best for programming us. I imagine this will get one more season and be canceled. To be clear I have nothing against any of the wokeness stuff,(or any view for that matter) but when every single shows primary directive is to try to justify the writers politics rather then tell a good story, it gets old pretty quickly. There's a word for this, o ya propaganda... You know what the nazis did to support there gross fringe belief systems to the masses.

Netflix for a while had a great run, but they are starting to feel like the CW 2.0 and it's losing its Magic quickly. Hopefully they go back to making great shows like Lost in Space, Luke Cage, Kingdom, but my hopes are low. If they would have kept the focus on the utopian family, it's back story and added a great villain backstory this would have been an exceptional show, but instead most of the show is directed elsewhere to introduce prob over a dozen irrelevant characters and showcase there wokeness lifestyles and diversity. Big miss.

Update : on episode 5 now, no spoilers but the show goes something like this. Show an interesting piece of backstory, flash to a sex scene with no plot value besides diversity, interesting backstory, flash to an LGBT strip club with no primary character appearance at all, interesting modern story, flash to girls going down on each other who subsequenty disappear from the show completely adding 0 plot value, interesting back story, flash to a racial injustice scene, interesting backstory, flash to a side random char doing drugs, and so on over and over. It's like they were more concerned in appeasing every liberal activist group in existence to the point of making new irrelevant characters just to be edgey and diverse and storyline just to check off the box, they missed the point. It's honestly laughable and prob the worse exercise in wokeness yet.

Episode 7 update: the same wokeness storyline splits have continued to waste away most of the run time, but the backstory Lovecraft adventure is a great story and the extremely rare hero action is good. The problem is, it only takes up maybe 20% of the run time with the remaining 80% random wokeness plots or character development. I get what they are trying to do, build subplots for spinoff series but the way they did it ruined the show. All of this reenforces my original thoughts, This could have been an exceptional show if the runtime was used to actually tell the story. (Even if it had 10% apparently mandatory wokeness) The entire backstory is spread across 8 episodes in 3-5 min clips and could have easily been told straight through in one story to establish the backbone of the series, but instead is paced terribly and its the only thing giving the show legs, rest is woke filler literally.
