El Señor de los Cielos (2013)

El Señor de los Cielos includes LGBTQ+ characters, such as the bisexual antagonist El Cabo, whose sexuality is presented as a part of his identity. The show generally integrates these characters into its criminal narrative without their queer identity being a central focus or a source of explicit mockery or affirmation. The portrayal is largely incidental, avoiding strong positive or negative arcs, thus resulting in a neutral net impact.

The show features Mónica Robles, a key female character, who repeatedly engages in and wins physical confrontations against male opponents. These victories often occur in close-quarters brawls where she uses her strength and fighting skills to overcome her adversaries.

The show consistently portrays Christian (specifically Catholic) characters, particularly those involved in drug trafficking, as deeply hypocritical. They frequently invoke religious symbols and prayers while committing heinous acts, highlighting a disconnect between their professed faith and their immoral actions. The narrative often depicts religious institutions and practices as either complicit or ineffective in guiding moral behavior.
