What We Think

“Cleopatra 2525” is certainly ahead of its time, pushing female leads front and center while sidelining the usual cultural supports. However, its campy style and self-aware tone keep it from hitting peak wokeness. More playful than preachy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While “Cleopatra 2525” does lean into identity-based casting with its trio of strong female leads, the show's over-the-top, campy tone means it's less about forced messaging and more about pulpy fun. Characters have some depth, but narrative sometimes bends to highlight girl power moments.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are upended, masculinity takes a back seat and female empowerment is cranked to comic-book levels. Classic cultural touchstones, like family or tradition, are basically an afterthought, replaced by sci-fi tropes and action. Still, the tone is so tongue-in-cheek that it doesn’t entirely feel like a hit piece.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t dwell much on alternative worldviews; traditional perspectives hardly show up, let alone get sincere treatment. However, ideological messaging takes a backseat to campy sci-fi antics, with less of the earnestness seen in more modern 'woke' fare.
