Center
Primary
The show consistently explores complex ethical dilemmas related to science, government, and humanity's future without explicitly endorsing a particular political ideology or offering ideologically-driven solutions, leading to a neutral rating.
Fringe features visible diversity within its cast, including significant roles for minority characters, but these do not appear to be explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily focuses on its science fiction themes and does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.
Secondary
Fringe is a science fiction series primarily focused on parallel universes, fringe science, and the relationships within its main heterosexual cast. The show does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes in a significant capacity, resulting in a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Fringe is an original science fiction series with characters created specifically for the show. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender was altered for their portrayal in the series.
Fringe is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a historical depiction. All characters were created for the show, meaning there were no prior canonical or historical racial portrayals to be altered.
