Center
Primary
The series maintains a largely objective, historical perspective on the drug trade, presenting the complexities of the 'War on Drugs' and the moral ambiguities of all involved without explicitly endorsing a particular political ideology or solution.
The series 'Narcos' naturally showcases a diverse cast that aligns with its historical setting in Colombia, without engaging in explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative primarily delves into the complexities of the drug war, presenting characters and systems without explicitly critiquing traditional identities through a modern DEI lens.
Secondary
Narcos features Pacho Herrera, a prominent, powerful, and openly gay Cali Cartel leader. His sexuality is depicted matter-of-factly, without being a source of mockery or weakness, challenging stereotypes. While a ruthless villain, his criminal actions are unrelated to his identity, resulting in a portrayal that neither uplifts nor denigrates LGBTQ+ themes.
The show consistently portrays its primary antagonists, the drug lords, as deeply hypocritical adherents of Catholicism. Their religious practices and symbols are frequently juxtaposed with their extreme violence and moral corruption, highlighting a profound disconnect between their professed faith and their actions without significant counterbalancing positive portrayals of the religion's influence.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Narcos is a historical drama based on real-life events and figures. All major historical characters and significant fictionalized roles are portrayed on screen with the same gender as their documented historical counterparts or established within the show's original narrative.
Narcos is a historical drama based on real-life figures, primarily from Colombia and the United States. The casting for the main characters accurately reflects the historical race and ethnicity of the individuals portrayed, with no instances of a character established as one race being portrayed as a different race.
