Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The series' central narrative champions American military exceptionalism and the restoration of global order through decisive, disciplined leadership, aligning with conservative values of national strength and duty.
The movie features a diverse cast within its military setting, with various roles filled by women and minorities. However, the central command roles are held by white males, and the narrative consistently portrays traditional identities and institutions in a positive light, without explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The Last Ship features LGBTQ+ characters, notably Lt. Alisha Granderson, whose same-sex relationship is portrayed with dignity and normalcy. Sasha Cooper's bisexuality is also acknowledged incidentally. The show integrates these identities respectfully, presenting them as part of the characters' lives without negative framing or stereotypes, contributing to a net positive portrayal.
The show features Sasha Cooper, a highly trained operative, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against male opponents using martial arts and hand-to-hand combat techniques.
The series portrays individual Christian faith as a source of moral guidance, hope, and strength for several main characters, aligning with virtues like compassion and sacrifice. While some extremist groups with quasi-religious characteristics are depicted negatively, the narrative consistently condemns their actions, thereby affirming the dignity of genuine faith.
The Last Ship, a post-apocalyptic naval drama, does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on military operations, survival, and finding a cure for a global pandemic, without exploring LGBTQ+ identities.
The show is an adaptation of William Brinkley's novel. Key characters from the novel, such as the captain and the lead scientist, maintain their original genders in the show's portrayal. No established character from the source material underwent a gender change.
The show is an adaptation of a novel, but a review of its main characters against the source material does not reveal any instances where a character canonically established as one race was portrayed as a different race. Many characters are original to the show or their race was not explicitly defined in the novel.
