True Detective (2014–)

The series leans left by primarily exposing systemic corruption, elite impunity, and the exploitation of the vulnerable by powerful institutions, aligning with progressive critiques of power structures, even if the resolution is personal rather than political.

The series demonstrates significant diversity through the casting of minority actors in lead detective roles, particularly in its later seasons. Its narrative frequently incorporates strong critiques of traditional power structures and highlights the experiences of marginalized groups, making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
