Woke Free
Stargate - I would run out of character limit before I could say enough great things about the Science Fiction masterpiece.
If you haven't seen it, absolutely give it a shot. Obviously woke free as it predates 'wokeism'. I had to rate it though, definitely my favorite "space" series of all of them. Combined.

My Favorite Scifi Serial
The Wokeness
Lets touch on this since it'll be interesting to dive into it through the lens of a 1990s show. You will be greeted with some "girl power" moments in the first few episodes, so you may think this is an angle that will play out often in the series. It is not, and when it is, it is tasteful.
Stargate comes from a time when women were preaching equality, not equity. In that vein, Captain Samantha Carter will play the role of a female integrating into a mostly men-dominated world. The show will touch on it at times. However, get prepared for a different narrative and a different message than you are used too.
SG1 preaches comradery, understanding, trust and bonding between sexes. It also makes fun of Carter at times, exposing a few of her own biases. It's such a refreshing take, yet watching this I feel so sad about how things have turned for the worst.
In a panel she did a long time ago, actress Amanda Tapping also shared some heartwarming thoughts about "strong female characters". When asked about her role, from a modern angry female, she responded along the lines of "You must remember that it is men like Brad Wright who stuck out their necks to help forward our cause". The days when men weren't evil and women didn't hate men, what a throwback.
The Story
SG1 is bar-none the single best scifi serial. Just watch it. Screw Star Trek or Star Wars, this is where it's at ;)
