Center
Primary
The series consciously balances competing cultural and policing philosophies through its protagonists, focusing on apolitical themes of justice, individual integrity, and friendship, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The series 'Due South' features a predominantly white male lead cast, though it includes visible diversity in its supporting characters, reflecting its urban setting. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities and focuses on the adventures of its protagonists without making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
The show consistently champions virtues such as honesty, compassion, and justice through its protagonist, Benton Fraser. While not explicitly religious, these values are deeply rooted in Judeo-Christian ethics, and the narrative affirms their dignity and importance.
The television series "Due South" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explicit themes within its narrative. The show primarily focuses on the platonic partnership between its two male leads and their interactions within a heteronormative framework. Consequently, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate under the provided rubric.
The television series 'Due South' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore transsexual themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding its impact on transsexual representation.
The show features capable female characters, including police officers, who are involved in investigations and often assist in apprehending suspects. However, there are no clear instances where a female character is depicted as victorious in direct, close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
Due South is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing source material or a reboot of legacy characters. All characters were created for the show, thus there are no instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another.
Due South is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Therefore, its characters' races were established by their initial portrayal within the show itself, meaning no race swaps occurred from prior canon or history.
