Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The original 'Lost in Space' from 1965 is about as non-woke as they come, straightforward, family-focused storytelling. Characters are developed based on their roles and personalities, not identity checkboxes. Forced representation or narrative compromises for ideology are absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show celebrates a traditional nuclear family, embraces adventure and responsibility, and depicts masculinity and femininity in classic 60s fashion. There's no effort to undermine religion, family values, or traditional gender roles, pretty much a time capsule of mid-century cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, the 'monoculture' here is the old-school American optimism of the era. Alternative worldviews aren't explored, but there's no villainization, just a wholesome tilt. This isn't exclusion; it's a legacy sci-fi series working with its time's assumptions.
