Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative champions the defeat of a tyrannical, exploitative landowner and the establishment of justice and social progress through law and education, aligning with left-leaning values of anti-exploitation and social reform.
The movie features a diverse Latinx cast, which is traditional for its genre and cultural origin. Its narrative centers on a strong female protagonist seeking revenge against male antagonists, but this is framed as a personal drama rather than an explicit critique of traditional identities or a central DEI theme.
Secondary
La Doña features a prominent and positively depicted lesbian relationship between main character Mónica Hernández and Regina Sandoval. Their romance is portrayed with dignity and emotional depth, serving as a central LGBTQ+ storyline that affirms queer love and identity within the narrative.
The show features a transsexual character, Lucho, whose storyline highlights the severe violence and discrimination faced by trans women. While her journey is marked by significant hardship, including a brutal hate crime, the narrative maintains an empathetic stance, framing these obstacles as external prejudice. Her character also experiences love and acceptance, affirming the worth of trans lives.
The series, set in a predominantly Catholic country, frequently features characters engaging in Christian practices and grappling with moral dilemmas through a Christian lens.
