The Strain (2014–2017)

The series leans left by primarily critiquing unchecked corporate power and government failure as catalysts for a global catastrophe, with a diverse group of individuals forming an anti-authoritarian resistance against an oppressive, ancient evil.

The movie features visible diversity in its cast, including prominent minority characters, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative does not critique traditional identities, focusing instead on a global horror plot where villainy is tied to ambition and monstrous nature rather than social identity.
