Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The series explores the moral complexities and long-term consequences of covert operations and government secrets, presenting a cynical view of the intelligence world without explicitly championing either progressive or conservative ideological solutions.

The series features a diverse ensemble in its supporting cast, while its central roles are traditionally cast. The narrative primarily focuses on a spy thriller plot, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.

Secondary

The Old Man features a central character, Angela Adams, who is revealed to be a transgender woman. Her identity is treated with respect and complexity, serving as a crucial element of the plot and the protagonist's motivations. The portrayal is affirming, depicting her with dignity and agency within the thriller narrative.

The show features female characters in significant roles, including an FBI agent and a civilian caught in the conflict. While these characters are involved in dangerous situations and use firearms, there are no depicted scenes where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat using skill, strength, or martial arts.

The show "The Old Man" is an adaptation of Thomas Perry's novel. All major characters retain the same gender as established in the source material.

The show is an adaptation of a novel. An analysis of major characters against their source material depictions reveals no instances where a character canonically established as one race was portrayed as a different race. Characters whose race was not specified in the novel are excluded from the definition.
