Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The series leans left due to its central thesis critiquing the corruption and authoritarianism of established religious and political institutions, while championing individual genius, scientific inquiry, and the pursuit of knowledge over dogma.

The series features a cast that largely reflects its 15th-century Italian historical setting, without explicit race or gender swaps for traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily focuses on historical conflicts and individual character development, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on modern DEI themes.

Secondary

Da Vinci's Demons offers a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes through its protagonist, Leonardo da Vinci, who is depicted as bisexual. His relationships with men are shown with dignity and complexity, integral to his character. The show frames societal prejudice as an external challenge, affirming the worth of his identity within the narrative.

The series consistently portrays the Catholic Church as a corrupt, power-hungry, and oppressive institution, using its authority for political gain, violence, and suppressing knowledge.

The series portrays mystical and philosophical aspects of Islam, particularly through characters like Al-Rahim, as sources of ancient wisdom and profound knowledge, often contrasting positively with European religious dogma.

The film portrays Jewish communities as victims of Christian persecution, with the narrative framing this bigotry as wrong and positioning the audience to sympathize with them.

Da Vinci's Demons does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. While a male character briefly cross-dresses as a disguise for a mission, this is presented purely as a plot device and not an exploration of gender identity. The series contains no narrative elements that depict or engage with transsexual experiences.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The series features numerous historical figures whose on-screen portrayals maintain their documented historical genders. No established characters, whether historical or from prior canon, are depicted with a different gender.

The show primarily features historical European figures who are portrayed by actors matching their historical race. Fictional characters created for the series, such as Zoroaster, do not constitute race swaps as they are original to the show's narrative rather than established historical figures in that specific context.
