What We Think

Cucumber ticks almost every box for modern wokeness. While it’s lauded for representation, traditional values take a back seat and alternative views are mostly absent or mocked. For anyone looking for a truly non-woke series, this one’s about as woke as you’ll find.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show centers heavily on LGBTQ themes, and character arcs revolve predominantly around sexuality and identity rather than universal human experiences. This can come across as prioritizing ideology over more rounded storytelling, with representation driving much of the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family and religion are largely set aside or questioned throughout the series. Masculinity is often depicted as problematic, while alternative lifestyles are held up as aspirational or more authentic, suggesting a significant departure from cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting views on sexuality or traditional values are mostly shown through caricature or as sources of conflict. The range of perspectives is quite narrow; it appears all central characters share similar progressive views without substantive debate.
