Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

While exploring complex issues with empathy, particularly concerning Native American rights, the show consistently champions individual responsibility, traditional values, and local law enforcement as the primary solutions to societal problems, rather than advocating for systemic or progressive interventions.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

Longmire features a diverse cast, prominently including Native American characters and storylines that explore indigenous issues and cultural dynamics. While the narrative delves into complex societal challenges and historical contexts, it refrains from explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The television series "Longmire" is an adaptation of Craig Johnson's "Walt Longmire Mysteries" novels.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High
