How did the fans react to the third episode?
While the greatness of the show was able to unite these long-time rivals, it also divided the online community. Although most of the fans and critics spoke highly of the show and praised the time-forwardness of the story, many groups labeled it as “Woke” propaganda. Bashing the writers and the showrunners.
It's a great story but you are letting the Wokers spoil it. Really isn't any need for bedroom scenes. Don't need the old diversity Inclusion and Equity pitch. Why sign everyone up for that? If we want to see that stuff, we can watch porn. Its Rude.
