El Señor de los Cielos primarily functions as a dramatic narrative exploring the lives of drug traffickers, their power struggles, and personal costs, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a clear ideological solution to the depicted problems.
The series naturally features a diverse Latino/Hispanic cast reflecting its Mexican setting, without intentionally recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on the criminal underworld, portraying characters' actions and consequences rather than offering an explicit critique of traditional identities through a DEI lens.
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 is a fictionalized drama inspired by real events and figures. Its central character, Aurelio Casillas, is based on a male historical figure and is portrayed as male. There are no instances where a character canonically or historically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender.
The show is a fictionalized account of a real Mexican drug lord, Amado Carrillo Fuentes, and features characters predominantly of Latin American descent, consistent with the source material and setting. No major character established as one race in prior canon or history is portrayed as a different race.
