Copenhagen Cowboy spotlights a mysterious female protagonist with surreal powers, and while her background fits the dreamlike world, there's a clear leaning into identity-driven casting and motifs. Character depth sometimes takes a back seat to style and symbolic gestures, resulting in a narrative that can feel more concerned with ambiance and ideological undertones than logic or merit-based developments.

The series often subverts traditional power structures, gender roles, and conventional morality. Masculinity is depicted as dangerous or inept, while the female lead is presented as unusually competent and morally ambiguous. Family and tradition are largely absent or cast in a negative light, which some viewers could interpret as undermining basic social foundations.

There are very few sincerely portrayed alternative worldviews. Traditional figures are often painted as menacing or deeply flawed, and dissent seems consistently associated with villainy or ineptitude. The show’s perspective leans heavily into modern attitudes without offering much ideological pushback or sincere pluralism.
