Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central subject matter of sci-fi survival and family reunion is inherently apolitical, and its narrative balances themes of individual responsibility with the necessity of cooperation without promoting a specific political ideology.
The series features a visibly diverse cast across various racial and ethnic backgrounds, with characters original to the show rather than being race-swapped from established roles. Its narrative focuses on survival and mystery, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
La Brea features a stable lesbian couple, Ella and Veronica, whose relationship is integrated naturally into the narrative. Their portrayal is consistently positive, depicting them with dignity and agency, and treating their relationship with normalcy. Their sexual orientation is not a source of conflict, affirming the worth of their lives and love within the story.
The TV show 'La Brea' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore related themes. The narrative focuses on a family's survival after being transported to a primeval land, with no depiction of transgender identity or experiences.
The show features several capable female characters who participate in action and survival scenarios. However, there are no clear instances where a female character decisively defeats one or more male opponents in direct, close-quarters physical combat using skill, strength, or martial arts. Victories are often achieved through firearms or as part of group efforts.
La Brea is an original science fiction series that premiered in 2021. All characters were created specifically for this show, meaning there are no pre-existing canonical or historical figures whose gender could have been altered.
