Leans Traditional
Primary
The series focuses on the internal dynamics and survival strategies of an Irish-American family involved in organized crime, exploring themes of loyalty, power, and moral ambiguity without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a societal solution.
The movie features traditional casting, primarily focusing on white characters within its specific cultural setting, without evidence of intentional race or gender swaps for diversity. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes, instead focusing on its core crime drama plot.
Secondary
The show portrays its nominally Catholic characters engaging in pervasive criminal activity and moral compromises. While the religion serves as a cultural backdrop and source of internal conflict, the narrative does not offer a significant counterbalancing positive portrayal or affirm the faith's virtues, often highlighting the hypocrisy of its adherents.
The Black Donnellys, a crime drama centered on a family's involvement in organized crime, does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or storylines. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes or individuals to evaluate within the series.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Black Donnellys is an original crime drama series. Its characters were created for the show and do not have pre-established genders from source material, historical records, or prior adaptations. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
