Leans Progressive
Primary
The series focuses on the universal human experience of battling a life-threatening illness, emphasizing personal resilience and the importance of family and friend support systems, rather than engaging with specific political ideologies.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast for its main roles, though it includes visible diversity in supporting characters. Its narrative primarily focuses on the protagonist's personal journey without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering strong DEI themes.
Secondary
Chasing Life features Brenna Carver, a main character whose bisexuality is explored with dignity and complexity. Her journey of self-discovery, coming out, and relationships with both men and women are depicted respectfully. The show portrays her family's acceptance and treats her same-sex relationships with emotional depth, affirming LGBTQ+ identity positively.
The show portrays Christianity, primarily through April's mother, as a source of comfort, moral guidance, and community. While characters may question their faith during difficult times, the narrative respects these beliefs and the support they offer, without presenting the religion itself as problematic.
Based on available information and plot summaries, the television series "Chasing Life" does not feature identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this rubric.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The show "Chasing Life" is an adaptation of the Mexican telenovela "Terminales." A review of the main characters and their roles in both versions reveals no instances where a character's established gender from the source material was changed in the adaptation.
Chasing Life is an original television series that premiered in 2014. All characters introduced in the show are new and original, meaning there is no prior source material or established canon for their race to be altered from.
