Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The series maintains a neutral stance by satirizing both the rigid bureaucracy and perceived naivete of Norwegian social democracy and the violent, individualistic ethos of American organized crime, ultimately exploring the humorous and dramatic interplay between these contrasting cultures without championing one over the other.

The series presents a naturally diverse cast reflecting its Norwegian setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily explores cultural clashes and the protagonist's criminal lifestyle, rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or centering on explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

The series features a main character, Torgeir Lien, who comes out as gay in Season 3. His journey of self-acceptance and his relationship are depicted with a mix of humor and sincerity. While some comedic elements exist, the narrative treats his identity with respect, and his friends are largely accepting, contributing to a net positive portrayal.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Lilyhammer is an original series with no prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created for the show, thus precluding any gender swaps from established canon.

Lilyhammer is an original series, not an adaptation of existing source material or a depiction of historical figures. All characters were created for the show, meaning there is no prior canonical or historical race to be swapped.
