Now, that's just my perspective. Others may feel different, but for what it's worth, I've never identified with any type of SJW status. I don't have a bias or a political hard-on for it. I'm just enjoying the fiction of the story.

100% this. Virtue signaling didn't jump out at me at all. I wasn't anticipating the show one bit, but Lindelof really knocked it out of the park. It's way better than the Snyder movie, which I honestly didn't mind at all. It's a worthy follow up to the original work.

My only complaint is not enough batshit Jeremy Irons.
