wake up Reviews for the first season were noticeably mixed, with critics accusing it of not using its absurd doses rather than just distracting from the issues it was hoping to address. In her September 2020 review series for usShannon Miller wrote:
While this sweeping shift from protective detachment to overwhelming awareness is new to Keefe, it doesn’t really lead to a whole new viewing experience for viewers who are currently witnessing the modern civil rights movement in real life. window. Neither Keefe nor those around him offer any interesting insights, the jokes are too corny to inspire any real laughter, and Keefe’s journey often feels more like a careless meandering as the season ends in Trek in moments that are too focused on the micro-attacks that are usually explored. For example, in “Gig E. Smalls,” Keefe finds himself the only black man at a party packed with WASPy art lovers. Within moments, he was greeted wearily as attendees brought him condescending content about OJ Simpson, Wakanda, Indemnity, and a dusty reference from the sunken place.
