The Wokest TV shows in town

I've just finished watching The Twilight Zone 2020 season 2 (how very humble of the makers to not acknowledge the previous legendary series' - clue). Absolute trash TBH, plot/ideas and script wise, but what was really striking was how seemingly in virtually every episode there a stunningly intelligent/heroic/righteous black women (and men) and a pathetic/wicked/stupid white male. Wokey wokey woke woke.
By the time I got to the penultimate episode, where for the first part the white male lead was being portrayed positively I was genuinely thinking "eh, WTFs going on?! He's a white male and being portrayed well!! I can't believe it....naah, surely not, he'll turn out to be evil, surely etc." I needn't spoil the episode, but needless to say lolz!
Some might ask why I continued watching it if I found it to be so totally crap - well, it shone stunningly bright for me in the "so bad it's good" stakes - loved it.
I've already gone to town on The Orville (which I notice WON the 2018 Saturn award for best TV sci-fi series LOLZ) in a different thread about this stuff.
So those are my two top nominations - The Orville and The Twilight Zone 2020 season 2.
Any other contenders for the crown?
