Detailed Bias Analysis

Primary
The series focuses on universal themes of survival, family, and exploration, balancing individual and family resourcefulness with empathy for alien life and critiques of systemic flaws, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through explicit racial and gender recasting of several traditionally white or male roles, including a Black actress for Judy Robinson and a female Dr. Smith. However, the narrative itself maintains a neutral stance, not explicitly critiquing traditional identities but rather focusing on themes of survival and exploration.
Secondary
Lost in Space features a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters through Ava Sharma and her same-sex relationship with Samantha. Their partnership is depicted as normal, stable, and integrated into the narrative without prejudice or negative framing, affirming the worth of queer identity within the show's futuristic setting.
The character of Dr. Zachary Smith, originally a male antagonist in the 1965 series, is portrayed as a female character in the 2018 reboot, fitting the definition of a gender swap.
Judy Robinson, a character portrayed as white in the original 1965 series, is played by a Black actress in the 2018 adaptation. This constitutes a race swap for a legacy character.
The 'Lost in Space' (2018) television series does not include any explicit or identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the Robinson family's survival and exploration, without incorporating transgender identities into its plot or character development.
The show's female characters, including Maureen, Judy, and Penny Robinson, primarily contribute through their intellect, leadership, and resourcefulness in survival situations. They do not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts.
