T. Murph and Blake Anderson deftly push the show's humor as Keef's roommates, Anderson squirming through a hipster caricature of white privilege, and Murph reckoning with with his character's ingrained misogyny.

Woke adds new layers of funny to a situation that easily could have been predictable and pedantic... This is a pitch perfect comedy released at just the right time.
September 09, 2020
This might grow tiresome if Woke weren't so otherwise charming. This can be credited in large part to Mr. Morris... but also to the balance Woke strikes between politics and the pure comedy of human interaction.

The specific, genuine Black anger inherent to Keith Knight & Marshall Todd's new show is something our country refuses to discuss, and it's tired of being polite about it.
September 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?
September 09, 2020
"Woke" has a serious spine, but the tone is light, even goofy, as a dramedy so caught up in what it thinks are teachable moments that it often doesn't succeed at either.
September 09, 2020
It gets in its own way a little too often and its eight episodes are probably twice as many as it really needs. But it's still a show to watch and learn from.
September 09, 2020
Morris' performance, along with some very funny animation, makes this show worth watching.
September 08, 2020
Woke is a vibe worth experiencing. The trick is sticking around long enough for its version of enlightenment to pay off.
September 09, 2020
The show develops a bit slowly, but deftly straddles the line between weightier matters and mining its sillier side.
September 08, 2020
Woke is a worthy watch if you're looking for some humor in dark times. The series has the potential to go so much farther with its material.
September 07, 2020
While the eight-episode Hulu series Woke satirizes the definitions of Blackness and artistic integrity, its inert discussions lead to few laughs.
