Primary
The film explicitly promotes a conservative worldview by championing strong, centralized state authority and law and order as the solution to national threats, while portraying civilian protest condescendingly.
The series incorporates visible diversity in its main cast, featuring actors of various ethnic backgrounds and women in prominent leadership roles. However, the narrative primarily focuses on political drama and does not explicitly engage with deeper Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion themes or social justice issues.
Secondary
