So was it any good, or too much SJW stuff like other Amazon offerings?

It's Amazon so the propaganda is x99999999 WAY toned down compared to Jewflix, you're not gonna love it but you're not gonna hate it either, it really depends of your taste, I liked The Boys and The Boys included that anti-christian propaganda, but it didn't ruined for me.
Liked the Boys up until the end.
I have a pretty high tolerance for it as long as it isn't the entire thrust of the show, if they just crowbar it in like The Boys I can generally just tune it out until it returns to the actual story.
It's good.
Race relations are central to the premise so it's hard to call it sjw stuff.
I'm not sure what other amazon things you're referring to that has too much sjw stuff, so maybe that's just stuff with any black guy in it.
The entire show is an allegory for how the left thinks """refugees""" are treated in western society
CNN has been circle jerking over how "timely" the show is in this "era of Trump". First episode seemed to be all British rednecks in mutton chops oppressing immigrants. If you don't consider it SJW, what plot would qualify by your standards?
His retarded reasoning for it to not be SJW seems to be because the core theme of the show is being SJW
It treats serious issues with kids gloves, and you could make up SJW bingo cards to play along with each episode. Your preconceptions are teased around episode 5, I think, but they never follow through and it's all two-dimensional propaganda.
CGI can get a little wonky. Story is alright and the series could really just end for the main characters. Setting seems to be the most interesting thing, but it's not really that deep.
I liked it but if you have a low tolerance for certain issues then it might not be for you, the themes of exploitation, colonialism and racism are very much central to the whole thing.
Not what makes it good though, strip away all that and the characters are pretty good and it has a decent plot.
An example of sjw stuff in shows I could think of is casting non white actors/actresses in historical or mythical roles that don't make sense, clearly made to rewrite the history with a more "diverse" leaning, like a black achilles or black lancelot.
I'd also include some works of fantasy depending on the setting, like lotr and the witcher where the wrong ethnic casting for diversity reasons break the immersion and consistency of the setting. This setting doesn't have the same limitation and has in universe reasons for it.
Portraying racism in a realistic manner in industrial fantasy london with its in-universe history is not something I'd refer to as sjw stuff.
Whilst it isn't the entire thrust of the show, which isn't actually related to race relations at all but just a political thriller/murder mystery, it is a big part of it and it comes up again and again.
That said, I didn't feel like I was being preached too by the creators like I did with The Boys so much, it deals with the subject matter but it is pretty even handed and doesn't get overly judgemental. You're shown moral and immoral people on all sides and when people treat others badly, it isn't always purely to establish them as a villian or go "look, look how bad racism is!", there's generally a purpose within the plot for it.
That said there is a really prominent white female/black male interracial romance complete with pseudo-cucking as part of one of the storylines that might trigger certain people
I did like that they explained the diversity of the humans within the city in-universe rather than just handwaving it that all 19th/20th century cities would obviously be multicultural, they added in a bit of history about a previous wave of refugees arriving in the city from further south and accounting for the mixture of light and dark complexions there. Little touches like that I think help to make it more believable, make the casting feel part of the world and less solely for real-world political reasons.
>British rednecks in mutton chops oppressing
They're based on Britain in the late 19th century, that is literally what we were doing back then.
>CGI can get a little wonky
My wife walked in while I was watching it and unironically asked me what game I was playing.
What niggers were Britons oppressing in Britain in the 1800's?
Ok gotchya, lately been trying to weed out my own racism so sometimes it is tough to tell what's just me being racist and what's a legitimate gripe.
sounds timely, hopefully the show can educate viewers on the dangers of right wing ideologies.
except they also commit 99% of the crime

Immigrants have one of the lowest crimes rates of any demographic in the US. Illegals commit less crime per capita than whites here
Just a poor man's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
Imagine being a conservacuck and just being permanently triggered, angry and paranoid about literally everything. No wonder so many of you snap and shoot up places
How? Isn't every illegal a criminal by virtue of being an illegal?
makes sense since most come looking for work to save money to buy a house back wherever they immigrated from. if i had to guess i'd say europe has a bigger problem with gibs-seekers and rapists than usa
I mean in the show, retard
Illegal immigrants have high crime rates, they only commit crimes at a slightly less rate than niggers, when people say they commit more crime they're comparing it to whites, what makes it worse is that these people shouldn't be in the country to start with
Somehow it's a prize to commit less crime than niggers, roughly 50% of the murders in the U.S. are committed by 5% of the population, that population being niggers
Thanks for providing the facts user, I was about to believe that guy
Illegals have a 100% crime rate, the highest of any demographic. They're ILLEGALS.
If illegal immigrants are so great, why not just criminalize all immigration?
That guy doesn't even believe that guy.
They also rely on data solely in Texas because states like California don't show immigration status in crime statistics
What was wrong with the ending?
Didn't they change from the source material massively even though the source is finished?
It's pure roastybait.
I have prime what's worth watching other than Grand Tour?
justified
>her family is still trying to make her career worth a damn
I don't watch anything with this bitch on principle
It is EXACTLY the same tier as Umbrella Academy. Worth watchimg if you are into this sort of thing but reeaallly slow. Like don't even think about recomending it to your casual friends kind of slow.
Good Omens sucked, White Dragon sucked. But I did binge watch every episode of each so there must have been something that appealed to me.
>2019
>still using SJW
The new proper term is "woke"
If you are into the racing thing you need to watch the Amazon F1 series followed by the Netflix F1 series. It is like watching seasons 1 and 2 of the same show with the same characters and storylines and everything.
The is a major high budget Amazon Original show called Abentia that literally nobody other myself has seen. It stares the cop girfriend chick from Castle. Season 1 is actually pretty based. Its sort of like The Fugitive but with a chick instead of Harrison Ford.
Abentia
Absentia
Thank you, will go watch it
