Woke (2020)

The Hulu series Woke debuted in the midst of the 2020 pandemic when everyone had nothing but time on their hands to sit and watch TV. The show stars Lamorne Morris as Keef, a comic book illustrator on the cusp of his first major career success. Keef has always played it safe, keeping politics and any sort of racial identity out of his work, but all of that is about to change when he finds himself on the wrong end of a racial profiling by an overzealous police officer. Once Keef recovers from his injuries, however, he is plagued day and night by a non-stop barrage of inanimate objects talking to him and airing their grievances with the way he's conducted himself up until this point in his career. Now that Keef if quite literally "Woke," will he be able to continue treading water or will he have to plunge headlong into the dangerous world of calling out institutional racism in all of its forms? It's pretty obvious it's going to be the latter, otherwise there wouldn't be much of a show. If the show was about him gaining this power and then just basically ignoring it, that premise couldn't last for more than an episode or two! One other huge advantage Woke has by being on Hulu is in the skin department, where it doesn't disappoint! The gorgeous Rose McIver goes topless while getting out of bed in the debut episode, playing Keef's girlfriend! If things keep heading in this direction, this show's gonna turn from Woke into Stroke!
