Progressive
Primary
The series leans left due to its central narrative focusing on a community of women who defy patriarchal norms and defend themselves against male-driven violence, championing themes of female agency and collective resilience.
The series features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, including women of color and an openly lesbian character, without explicitly recasting traditional roles. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional male-dominated power structures, portraying them negatively, while centering on themes of female strength, community, and non-traditional relationships.
Secondary
Godless features a significant lesbian relationship between central character Alice Fletcher and Callie Dunne. Their connection is portrayed with dignity, complexity, and empathy, serving as a genuine aspect of Alice's life and character. The narrative avoids harmful stereotypes, presenting their relationship respectfully within the challenging context of the Old West, contributing positively to the show's character development.
The series portrays Christianity with nuance, showing both its capacity for solace and community (e.g., the Quaker settlement) and its misuse by hypocritical or violent individuals. The narrative explores themes of redemption and faith without condemning the religion itself, often highlighting virtues like forgiveness and resilience within a Christian framework.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
