Center
Primary
The series explores the complex ethical and societal challenges of individuals with superhuman abilities, balancing themes of government control, individual freedom, and the integration of 'others.' It maintains a neutral stance by critiquing ideological extremes from both sides and championing a pragmatic, balanced solution.
The series features a visibly diverse main cast, including characters of different races, genders, and neurotypes, in roles original to the production. The narrative primarily focuses on the challenges faced by individuals with special abilities and their integration into society, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
Alphas features Nina Theroux, a main character who is bisexual. Her sexual orientation is depicted incidentally through her relationships and dialogue, without being a central theme or source of conflict. The portrayal is neutral, presenting her identity as a matter-of-fact aspect of her character rather than a subject of strong positive affirmation or negative stereotyping.
The show 'Alphas' features Skylar, a trans woman and Alpha, whose identity is acknowledged but not central to her character or the plot. Her portrayal is neutral, presenting her as a complex and capable individual without using her trans identity for explicit positive affirmation or negative stereotypes.
The show features Kathy Sullivan, an Alpha with super strength, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male guards and other male Alphas. Her victories are achieved through direct physical confrontation.
Alphas is an original series that introduced its own set of characters. There is no prior source material, previous installment, or historical record from which its characters were adapted, thus no pre-established genders to be swapped.
Alphas is an original science fiction series that premiered in 2011. It is not an adaptation of pre-existing source material, nor does it feature historical figures or legacy characters from prior installments. Therefore, no characters had an established race to be swapped from.
