The Recruit (2022) (IS WOKE!)

WHAT CRITERIA MAKES IT WOKE?

WOKE EVIDENCE:

• Show with a lawyer working for the CIA. One of the main characters is a woman probably 130lbs who routinely beats up large men.
• Another woman is a CIA hitter, also about 130lbs with a major attitude who also beats up and threatens men.
• One of the roommates is a gay man who after breaking up with his boyfriend goes to great lengths to explain that he just wants to get married to another man and have kids. This is all very normal, no one bats an eye. Then he goes on to say “I guess I’m just old fashioned”.

Follows a lawyer at the CIA who gets entangled in dangerous international power politics when a former asset threatens to expose the nature of her long-term relationship with the agency.

Owen Hendricks, a young CIA lawyer whose first week on the job turns upside down when he discovers a threatening letter by former asset Max Meladze, who plans to expose the agency unless they exonerate her of a serious crime.

Owen quickly becomes entangled in a dangerous and often absurd world of power politics and mischievous players, as he travels the world in hopes of completing his assignment and making a mark at the CIA.
