Strong Left
Primary
The show consciously balances elements appealing to both conservative and liberal audiences, portraying national security with a patriotic lens while incorporating DEI themes and addressing contentious issues, ultimately aiming for bipartisan appeal and political consensus.
Lioness showcases a socially diverse cast, including women in military and intelligence roles, demonstrating an intentional commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in its character representation. The narrative explores contemporary cultural realities and social issues, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes overtly central to its plot.
Secondary
Lioness features visible and central LGBTQ+ representation, including lesbian characters and storylines that resonate with queer viewers. While some portrayals receive mixed critiques for depth, the series is recognized for contributing significantly to queer visibility in its genre, resulting in a net positive impact.
The show features female operatives who are portrayed as highly skilled and effective warriors. They engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents as part of their covert missions, consistent with their training and roles.
Lioness is an original series, meaning its characters were created specifically for the show and do not have prior canonical or historical gender identities to be swapped from. No instances of gender swapping are identified.
No information was found to indicate that any character in the show "Lioness" (2023–) was canonically, historically, or widely established as one race and then portrayed as a different race. Therefore, no race swap has been identified.
