The wife and I enjoy watching movies and shows together. She was born and raised in Brazil so I've showed her all the classic movies like Braveheart, Shawshank redemption, the 5th element, saving private ryan, kingdom of heaven, LOTRs, Star Wars, etc, etc.
.
So I figured this would be a good place to ask this question for some good suggestions. I've been looking myself but I'd thought I'd seek others perspectives.

I used to be annoyed that my wife found an infatuation with "Friends" but after shit like "bridgerton" has caught her eye I'd sit through friends for eternity if she would promise not to watch that trash and I can barely stop myself from going into a long rant about the bullshit they are pulling. lol it's funny the more times I see Friends the more I like it because shows weren't purposely insulting us with SJW bullshit.

Kobra Kai has some SJW moments but I found it at tolerable levels. Can't speak for season 3, haven't watched. (Family friendly)
"The Boys" - i don't want to spoil if you haven't watched, but that show seemed to be speaking truth to power for one and a half seasons, than swerved seriously hard to the left. But where season 2 leaves off, I can't tell if that swerve is a fake out or not. (ultra violent tv show though)
Ozark - haven't noticed any significant SJW bullshit. There are some characters who are overtly SJW in-show but I would say the are not shown in a positive light at all. (violent and at times disturbing)
Banshee - has a few painfully anvillicous SJW moments. Setting outright caricatures of 'evil racist white guy' for example, but it does tense action quite well too.
What I liked about Kobra Kai, yes, there is some level of obvious diversity and leaning of SJW'ism, they don't use it a shield or hammer to push it.
It was actually refreshing to see, as they made some of the diversity characters do the bullying and act in negative fashions. They allow the characters to breathe and they seem free to be both heroic and be assholes regardless of whatever status they represent (gay, black, feminist, minority etc.)
This show is all about character arcs, redemption and often the "good guys" are the ones doing the wrong, its all about their perspective, and how they respond to the things they did.
Add in some great nostalgia vibes and humor, great fight scene direction and editing, its a good time, enjoyed it very much so far.
watching s3 now. still good
