NCIS: New Orleans (2014–2021)

NCIS: New Orleans features openly LGBTQ+ characters, most notably Agent Hannah Khoury, whose bisexuality and marriage are depicted with dignity and normalcy. Her identity is integrated respectfully into her character arc, contributing to a largely affirming portrayal. Other minor characters also reflect LGBTQ+ presence without negative framing.

The show features Agent Tammy Gregorio, who is consistently portrayed as physically capable. She repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical altercations against male suspects, using trained combat techniques to subdue them.
