What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though Woke's first season doesn't quite know what it wants to say about racism in America, its solid ensemble - led by a well-cast Lamorne Morris - and some surreal silliness make it a messy conversation worth watching.

If given a second season to more fully address the issues it leaves on the table, it could really blossom. Let's hope it gets one. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 09/10/2020
We get a brisk comedy that's alive with solid performances but stays too light in its opening season to make a truly indelible mark. Go to Full Review Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair 09/09/2020
Even as the show approaches twisted topics, it seems hesitant to take on a darker tone, which might serve the material better. The question it left me with is: Who is Woke meant to appeal to? Go to Full Review Mark Meszoros The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) 02/21/2021
Woke is a new show that struggles to find its footing in its first go-round. That doesn't make it unusual. Go to Full Review tt stern-enzi Cincinnati CityBeat 10/08/2020
As you're watching it, you wonder where it's going. And when it gets to the end, it completely opens the door...the humor has the potential to be really impactful going forward. Go to Full Review Nestor Bentancor Nestor Cine Desde Hollywood 10/05/2020

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 28 8 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Meg J 07/16/2024 It’s very interesting. However for me it got dark pretty quick-basically all the abnormal chatter to him made me feel a bit tense so pass…second show See more Grey W 02/17/2023 A really funny show with surprising twists and real growth from the characters. I loved the inanimate objects talking as well. I wish more people had discovered this gem of a show. See more 04/17/2022 Great show. Season 2 is even better. See more 04/09/2022 Painfully written, the show has no focus, never seems to find a groove. The acting is good, but wow... they need some NEW writers on this project. It also tries to have conversations about race while ignoring every all other social issues that feed into the problems America faces. Social issues are not just black and white or left and right. There's lots of grey areas, but this ignores all the nuances of America in favor of pushing a very specific political ideology onto it's viewers See more 04/09/2022 If you want to open your eyes to a different perspective its definitely the show for you. It's nice to see the voices that were silenced for so long telling stories in a way to make everyone feel heard. The show is not palpable for people who don't want to admit these are the truths for many which is why there are mixed reviews but for me personally it was a great find. If you're into animation I like that it's incorporated in the story to make you understand what he is going through with a little humor. See more Read all reviews
