Leans Traditional
Primary
The political bias of 'Bloodline' cannot be objectively assessed as no information regarding its plot, characters, or thematic content was provided. Therefore, a neutral rating is assigned by default due to the absence of identifiable political leanings.
Based on the limited information available for 'Bloodline,' the evaluation assumes a traditional casting approach without explicit diversity initiatives and a narrative that does not overtly critique traditional identities or prioritize DEI themes.
Secondary
Bloodline features LGBTQ+ characters, notably Kevin Rayburn, whose past gay relationship is a source of personal secrecy and family leverage, and Eric O'Bannon, whose sexuality is incidental. The show neither strongly affirms nor denigrates queer identity, presenting it as part of complex character backstories and family dynamics without making it a central theme of uplift or degradation.
The series frequently depicts characters who are nominally Christian engaging in profound hypocrisy, deception, and violence. While Christian themes of sin and redemption are present, the narrative consistently exposes the moral failings of its adherents and the superficiality of their faith, without offering a significant counter-balance that affirms the religion's virtues or dignity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Bloodline is an original series, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing material. All characters were created for the show, meaning there are no prior canonical or historical gender baselines to swap from.
Bloodline is an original drama series created for Netflix. All characters were newly conceived for the show, meaning there is no prior source material, historical record, or established canon from which a character's race could have been changed.
