Center
Primary
Colony explores the universal struggle against authoritarianism and the moral complexities of survival, resistance, and collaboration under occupation. It maintains a neutral stance by balancing competing viewpoints and focusing on human dilemmas rather than specific political ideologies.
The series 'Colony' features a visibly diverse cast across various roles, reflecting a modern urban setting. Its narrative primarily focuses on a dystopian occupation and human resistance, with traditional identities generally portrayed neutrally or positively, rather than being the subject of explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The series includes a minor depiction of bisexuality through the main character Katie Bowman's past relationship with a woman. This element is presented factually and without explicit judgment, serving as a background detail rather than a central theme or source of conflict. The portrayal is neither strongly affirming nor problematic.
The series "Colony" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The show's focus is primarily on a family's struggle for survival and resistance in an occupied Los Angeles, without exploring gender identity topics.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Colony is an original science fiction series with characters created specifically for the show. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could have been swapped.
Colony is an original science fiction series that premiered in 2016. It is not an adaptation of existing source material, nor does it feature historical figures or legacy characters from prior installments. Therefore, no character had a pre-established race to be altered.
