Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The series chronicles the rise and fall of a drug empire, exploring the socio-economic conditions that contribute to crime alongside themes of individual ambition and the destructive consequences of illicit choices, without explicitly championing a specific political solution. Its focus on documenting a complex reality rather than advocating for an ideological viewpoint leads to a neutral rating.
The series features a diverse cast that accurately reflects the real-life Black family and community it portrays, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative explores the complexities of its characters and their environment, but does not center on an explicit critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
The series portrays Christianity primarily through the character of Lucille Flenory, whose deep faith provides her with moral strength and a consistent ethical compass amidst her family's criminal enterprise. The narrative consistently frames Lucille's devotion and the church community as a source of virtue and solace, positioning the audience to sympathize with the dignity of her faith.
