Primary
Knots Landing, as a long-running soap opera, primarily focuses on interpersonal drama, family conflicts, and individual moral dilemmas rather than advocating for specific political ideologies. Its core subject matter and the individualistic nature of its problems and solutions lead to a neutral rating.
Knots Landing, a prime-time soap opera from the late 20th century, featured a predominantly white main cast and focused on personal dramas within that demographic. The series did not explicitly engage with or critique traditional identities, nor did it feature intentional DEI-driven casting or narratives.
Secondary
Knots Landing featured significant LGBTQ+ storylines in its later seasons, notably with characters Danny Waleska and Peter Sumner. The series explored themes of coming out, family acceptance, and the impact of homophobia, including a hate crime. These depictions were handled with empathy and dignity, framing external prejudice as wrong and ultimately affirming the worth of its queer characters, making the net impact positive.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Knots Landing is an original drama series and a spin-off of Dallas. It does not adapt existing source material with gender-swapped characters, nor does it feature a reboot where legacy characters are portrayed with a different gender. All characters were either new to the series or maintained their established gender from Dallas.
Knots Landing, an original television series and spin-off of Dallas, did not feature any instances where a canonically established character was portrayed by an actor of a different race during its run. New characters were introduced over time, but this does not constitute a race swap.
