I don’t remember the events of 4x08, but the police doing bad stuff was baked into the show from the start with Dan. Was the episode actually woke or did it just talk about police and black people, like has been a trope for god knows how many years? I’m happy to be wrong, as it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but jumping to “woke” seems to be common now.
It was definitely woke, two scenes actually:
- two white officers show up when Amenadiel and some black kid are walking down the screet
- the officers are very hostile while they're arresting the kid who doesn't fight back
- white officers want to arrest and ultimately shoot Amenadiel for "resisting arrest", ofc he's posing as normal defenseless person
- in the police station Amenadiel gives a rant when talking to Dan about racism and police brutality
I mean I don't think I'm trying to find reasons for calling the show woke. I've went through earlier episodes in the season and I never had that the same problem. The scenes were literally injected to comply with Netflix's propaganda.
Oh and speaking of Amenadiel, I don't know what happened to him between seasons 3 and 4, but he want from being a chad to being a hobo looking older guy.
