Star City
tv·TV-MA·May 28, 2026·
Star City earns its low 3/10 woke score by sticking to Cold War espionage, bureaucratic rivalries, and lunar mission drama without modern identity politics or systemic oppression themes.
Star City is an alternate-history drama centered on Cold War-era Soviet space efforts, where the USSR reaches the Moon first amid intense KGB surveillance, bureaucratic rivalries, and the internal strains of the space program.
Season 1 follows figures such as the Chief Designer, KGB operative Lyudmilla Raskova, surveillance specialist Irina Morozova, and cosmonaut Anastasia Belikova as they navigate high-stakes lunar missions and institutional pressures, drawing on historical parallels like early female cosmonauts. The narrative emphasizes espionage, technical and political conflicts, and mission demands without centering modern identity politics or systemic oppression themes. This restrained approach to contemporary social framing underpins the show's official overall woke score of 3/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
