Primary
The series explores complex themes of systemic inequality and the pursuit of power within a criminal underworld, but it primarily focuses on individual choices and consequences rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or solution, leading to a neutral rating.
The series features a visibly diverse cast, with people of color in central and leading roles, building on an established narrative universe. The storyline explores complex character dynamics and societal challenges without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes the central narrative driver.
Secondary
Power Book II: Ghost features Brayden Weston, a main character whose gay identity is openly explored through his relationships and personal journey. His sexuality is depicted as a natural aspect of his complex character, with his relationships treated with dignity and emotional depth. The narrative avoids harmful stereotypes, and his challenges primarily stem from the criminal world rather than his queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Power Book II: Ghost is a direct spin-off of the original Power series, continuing the stories of established characters and introducing new ones. No characters from the original series who were canonically established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender in this installment.
Power Book II: Ghost is a direct spin-off of the original Power series.
