The O.C. (2003–2007)

The O.C. leans left due to its consistent critique of the moral superficiality and class disparities within affluent society, championing empathy and acceptance through its outsider protagonist and the progressive values of the central family.

The series primarily features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast, and its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities. The focus remains on the interpersonal dramas within a largely affluent, white, heterosexual community.
