re: Just watched first episode of Yellowstone.

So "woke" just means "anything I see on my TV" now?

Using the term woke was probably too politically charged of a word for the OP to use. If you’re trying to help the OP, just contrast Yellowstone with Deadwood.

Deadwood tried to be historically accurate with western culture and the norms of the time. But many other examples of historical fiction try too hard to connect with modern audiences by introducing characters whose minds are more aligned with modern norms.

So I’ll phrase the question differently. Is Yellowstone similar to Deadwood in terms of historical accuracy or does Yellowstone take a more sensitive approach to avoid offending too many viewers?
