Primary
NCIS: Hawaiʻi maintains a neutral political stance by primarily focusing on apolitical themes of crime-solving and national security within a federal agency, while also incorporating diverse characters and local cultural elements without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The series demonstrates significant diversity through its casting, notably featuring a woman of color in the lead role of Special Agent in Charge, a position traditionally held by men in the NCIS universe. The ensemble cast also reflects a broad range of ethnicities and includes prominent LGBTQ+ representation. However, the narrative primarily focuses on crime-solving and does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
NCIS: Hawaiʻi offers a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters through the central relationship of Lucy Tara and Kate Whistler. Their romance is depicted with dignity and complexity, facing common relationship challenges unrelated to their sexual orientation. The show normalizes their queer identity, presenting them as respected professionals whose personal lives are an integral part of the narrative.
NCIS: Hawaiʻi features a transgender Navy petty officer in a Season 2 episode. The character is portrayed with dignity, facing external prejudice and harassment via a deepfake. The narrative frames these obstacles as negative forces, with the protagonists actively working to support and protect her, resulting in a net positive and affirming portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
NCIS: Hawaiʻi introduces a new ensemble of original characters for its spin-off series. There are no instances of characters previously established as one gender in prior NCIS installments or other source material being portrayed as a different gender.
NCIS: Hawaiʻi introduces an entirely new cast of original characters for its specific setting. There are no instances of characters previously established as one race in prior canon being portrayed as a different race.
