I think Amber isn't meant to be seen as such. The show clearly wants to portray Mark as the one who is the one in the wrong in this scenario, what with all of his friends telling him as much. Even William, who didn't so much as defend him when he knew the reason Mark screwed things up was because he was busy saving their lives.
Anyway, I was never saying that the show itself is necessarily woke as a whole, but that it has woke elements. It's not particularly overt, but it's definitely something that wasn't as apparent in the source material. However, I do think it's the least of the problems with it. The way the narrative has unfolded for one introduces some very interesting problems for the writers to tackle if their intent is to adapt the remaining source material, and not go in its own direction.
As I've point out earlier in the thread, there's a few events and storylines I'd be A-ok with the show dropping. Some of them I find particularly distasteful, especially given the subject matter involved. Some of them feel as though they were included not as a legitimate eventuality given the progression of the plot, but attempts at purely shocking the reader. Kind of like what happened in the Walking Dead comics, to a lesser degree.
If they continue to follow the plot of the comics in any fashion, you will be most satisfied. The REALLY intense stuff is coming.
