Reply to comment by reddit455 in Could Deadwood be made today? And do anti-woke people have a point about modern TV norms? by rosencrantz2016

Hmm, extending a long established show is a little different to making a new show in 2022. But point taken.

Regards movies about slavery, they're not anti woke but for the most part they centre the issues of racism and slavery and give them immense weight. They also tend to be either didactic or cartoonish in their morality (Tarantino). (These are generalisations admittedly.) This makes them a little different than Deadwood.
