Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
While exploring complex issues with empathy, particularly concerning Native American rights, the show consistently champions individual responsibility, traditional values, and local law enforcement as the primary solutions to societal problems, rather than advocating for systemic or progressive interventions.
Longmire features a diverse cast, prominently including Native American characters and storylines that explore indigenous issues and cultural dynamics. While the narrative delves into complex societal challenges and historical contexts, it refrains from explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
Longmire features a recurring lesbian character, Lizzie, who is portrayed with dignity and competence. Her sexuality is present but incidental to the main narrative, neither serving as a source of significant positive affirmation nor negative portrayal, thus maintaining a neutral impact.
Longmire features a transgender character, Sarah, in a Season 4 episode. The show portrays her with dignity, primarily through Sheriff Walt Longmire's respectful interactions and corrections of others' misgendering. While she faces prejudice from antagonists, the narrative's stance is affirming, presenting her as a sympathetic and credible individual.
The show features Deputy Vic Moretti, who engages in direct physical combat with a male assailant in her home. She uses a knife and her strength to wound him, allowing her to escape and win the confrontation.
The show portrays Christianity with nuance, exploring its role in community morality, personal struggles, and ethical dilemmas. While individual adherents may be flawed, the narrative generally respects the faith's virtues and its influence on characters' moral compasses.
The television series "Longmire" is an adaptation of Craig Johnson's "Walt Longmire Mysteries" novels. All major characters in the show maintain the same gender as established in the original book series, with no instances of a character canonically portrayed as one gender being depicted as another.
The show 'Longmire' adapts characters from the novels, maintaining their established races. No character canonically established as one race in the source material is portrayed as a different race on screen.
