Overview
In his basement in San Francisco, boy-genius Quinn Mallory unlocks the doorway to an infinite number of Earths. During a test run, Quinn invites co-worker Wade Welles and his teacher Professor Maximillian Arturo to see his new invention. But an increase in power and an early departure leave all three, plus a washed-up soul singer named Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown, lost in a parallel world.

Primary
The series consistently critiques various forms of societal dysfunction and oppression, including authoritarianism, environmental neglect, and corporate overreach, but does so from a perspective that champions individual liberty and skepticism of any absolute power, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The series 'Sliders' features visible diversity through a prominent Black main character, Rembrandt Brown, who is an original role. Its narrative explores various societal structures in alternate universes, often critiquing those specific societies rather than explicitly framing traditional identities negatively. The protagonists' traditional identities are generally portrayed neutrally or positively.
Secondary
The television series "Sliders" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes throughout its run. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal of queer identity to evaluate within the narrative framework of the show.
The show features female characters like Wade Welles and Maggie Beckett. While both are resourceful and participate in action, their victories against male opponents typically involve firearms, technological solutions, or group efforts, rather than individual close-quarters physical combat through skill or strength.
Sliders is an original television series. All main characters were created for the show, establishing their genders from inception without prior canonical versions to be gender-swapped from.
Sliders is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a historical account. All main characters were created for the show, meaning there is no prior canon or historical baseline against which a race swap could occur.
