Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The show's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by depicting the struggle of sentient artificial intelligence for civil rights and personhood, critiquing human prejudice and systemic discrimination against the 'other.'
The series 'Humans' features visible diversity in its main cast, including a prominent role for an East Asian actress as a sentient robot. The narrative explores themes of prejudice and the rights of a marginalized group through an allegorical lens, critiquing general human intolerance rather than explicitly targeting traditional identities.
Secondary
Humans features multiple LGBTQ+ relationships among its synth characters, including a male synth couple and a female synth-human couple. These relationships are depicted with dignity, emotional depth, and complexity, exploring themes of identity and love. The portrayals are integrated naturally into the narrative, contributing positively to the show's exploration of what it means to be sentient and to love.
The character Mia, portrayed by Gemma Chan (East Asian), is a direct counterpart to Mimi from the original Swedish series "Real Humans," who was played by a white actress. This change in racial portrayal constitutes a race swap.
Currently, there is not enough information to assess the portrayal of transsexual characters or themes in 'Humans, 2015'. The provided details lack specific plot points or character arcs related to transsexual identity, preventing a determination of net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The series "Humans" is an adaptation of the Swedish show "Äkta människor." A review of the main characters and their counterparts reveals no instances where a character's established gender from the original series was changed in the adaptation.
