Overview
Baretta is an American detective television series which ran on ABC from 1975 to 1978. The show was a milder version of a successful 1973–74 ABC series, Toma, starring Tony Musante as chameleon-like, real-life New Jersey police officer David Toma. While popular, Toma received intense criticism at the time for its realistic and frequent depiction of police and criminal violence. When Musante left the series after a single season, the concept was retooled as Baretta, with Robert Blake in the title role.

Primary
The show leans right by championing individual initiative and unconventional, results-oriented action by a maverick cop as the primary solution to urban crime, rather than focusing on systemic issues or strict adherence to bureaucratic procedures.
The series features a white male lead and a visibly diverse supporting cast, reflecting its urban setting, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white main roles. The narrative focuses on crime-solving and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes.
Secondary
The crime drama series 'Baretta' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the titular detective's cases and personal life without incorporating queer identities or storylines, resulting in no specific portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
