Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The series balances strong themes of national security and patriotism with progressive portrayals of feminist empowerment and gender equality, resulting in a neutral political stance that avoids deep ideological commentary.
The series demonstrates significant diversity through the casting of a Filipina-American actress in a lead role, departing from the original film's all-white leads. The narrative also promotes female empowerment and challenges traditional gender roles by portraying the female protagonist as capable and central to the action.
Secondary
The series features Helen Tasker, an Omega Sector operative, who consistently engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against male adversaries. She utilizes martial arts and melee weapons in both individual and group fight scenarios.
Helen Tasker, a legacy character from the original film portrayed by a white actress, is recast with a Filipino-American actress in the 2023 series, constituting a race swap.
