art is obviously open to interpretation and you can choose to do so but unless certain interpretation is hard-coded in the show (which it isn't imo), it's reductionist to put it in a corner like woke or anti-woke.

While I agree with all the points you have made, I'd disagree that the show itself is trying to critique the point you are making about empathy, dialogue etc. The show might be trying to present these two facets as a dichotomy, I am not sure if it is trying to denounce them.

would love to! Go ahead.

to call it "superficial critique of contemporary wokeness" sounds way too reductionist.

Surely, this is a parody account?

This headline from a Trump supporter in 2019 is still true.

Excellent timing. Just finished watching the episode, time to read the review.

Love the series
