Center
Primary
The show's central subject matter of crime, espionage, and moral ambiguity lacks an inherent political valence, and its narrative balances critiques of government institutions with an emphasis on individual, often extra-legal, action, resulting in a neutral ideological stance.
The Blacklist features a diverse ensemble cast in its original characters, contributing to visible representation without explicitly recasting traditional roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, with DEI themes not being central to the show's primary focus on crime and espionage.
Secondary
The Blacklist features several LGBTQ+ characters whose identities are depicted incidentally and respectfully. While not central to the main plot, their relationships and identities are presented without sensationalism, mockery, or negative stereotypes, contributing to a neutral overall portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Blacklist is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a reboot featuring legacy characters. All main characters were created for the show, thus there are no instances of characters whose canonical gender was altered from a prior source.
The Blacklist is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing source material or a historical depiction. All characters were created for the show, meaning there was no prior canonical or historical race to be altered.
