Leans Left
Primary
The series predominantly explores themes of social justice and minority rights through the allegory of zombies as a marginalized group, critiquing systemic prejudice and the exploitation by powerful institutions, which aligns with progressive values.
iZombie features a visibly diverse main cast with prominent roles for minority characters, which are integral to the show's narrative. However, the series does not engage in explicit recasting of traditionally white roles, nor does its narrative explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
iZombie includes several minor LGBTQ+ characters whose identities are presented as normal and accepted, without being central to the main narrative. While not deeply affirming, the show avoids negative stereotypes or making queer identity a source of ridicule or tragedy, resulting in an incidental and neutral overall portrayal.
The show "iZombie" features multiple instances of race swapping from its comic book source material. For example, Detective John Jones, a white character in the comic, is portrayed as the Black character Detective Clive Babineaux in the show. Additionally, Liv's white friend Scott from the comic is adapted into the South Asian character Ravi Chakrabarti.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The show "iZombie" adapts the comic series, changing some character names and roles, but does not portray any character canonically established as one gender in the source material as a different gender on screen. All major character counterparts maintain their original gender.
