Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Universe" is a science documentary series focused on astronomy and cosmology. There are no prominent instances where narrative is bent to serve identity politics. The series emphasizes facts, letting science take the lead over ideology. Character casting and subject presentation appear based on expertise and scientific merit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely avoids cultural or social themes, concentrating on the wonders of outer space rather than social commentary. There’s little to no effort to undermine religion, family, or traditional values, mostly sticking to scientific explanations and astronomical visuals.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While there’s a standard scientific worldview present, a given for this genre, alternative perspectives (such as religious cosmology) are not explored in depth. Still, the show avoids overtly mocking or villainizing such perspectives, preferring to stay in its astrophysics lane.
