Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film presents a multifaceted critique of societal issues, including corporate hubris, religious extremism, and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, without explicitly promoting a single ideological solution, thus balancing competing viewpoints.
Caprica features intentional diverse casting, particularly with the prominent Adama family being portrayed by Hispanic actors, which establishes a diverse foundation for a key lineage in the series. However, the narrative primarily explores themes of technology, religion, and corporate power, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
Caprica features Sam Adama, an openly gay mob enforcer in a stable marriage with Larry. His sexuality is depicted as a natural, accepted aspect of his identity, without being a source of prejudice or mockery. The show portrays a complex LGBTQ+ character with dignity and agency, normalizing a same-sex relationship within its narrative.
Caprica does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The series explores concepts of identity through artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and religious belief, but these narratives do not align with or depict transsexual identity or gender transition.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Caprica introduces new characters and explores the origins of the Cylon War within the reimagined Battlestar Galactica universe. While it features younger versions of established characters, their genders remain consistent with prior portrayals. No character canonically established as one gender is depicted as a different gender.
Caprica is a prequel series that introduces new characters and expands the lore of the Battlestar Galactica universe. It does not adapt characters from a prior, distinct source where their race was canonically established differently.
