In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Cosmos 2014 stays rooted in factual storytelling, but often leans toward a narrow, secular worldview while giving a cold shoulder to traditional perspectives. Not the wokest in Hollywood, but definitely gives tradition a bit of a cosmic cold front.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Cosmos largely sticks to its science communication roots, focusing on scientific discovery and history without obvious shoehorning of modern identity politics. Characters are based on real historical scientists, and the emphasis is on ideas rather than identity, so narrative integrity is generally maintained.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show sometimes portrays religious or traditional worldviews as outdated or obstructive to scientific progress, with faith and tradition occasionally painted in a less-than-flattering light. While not wholly antagonistic, there’s an undercurrent suggesting progress and reason are superior to traditional beliefs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Cosmos presents a unified rationalist, secular worldview with little room for alternative perspectives. Non-scientific viewpoints, especially religious ones, are mainly shown as barriers to progress, and almost all voices reinforce the same message.
