The Last of Us (2023–)

The series explores the moral complexities of survival and the profound value of individual human connection in a post-apocalyptic world, presenting a nuanced view of societal collapse and personal sacrifice without explicitly endorsing a specific political ideology. Its focus on the deeply personal choices of its characters, rather than a societal solution, positions it as neutral.

The series demonstrates a significant presence of DEI, primarily through its explicit racial recasting of several roles that were traditionally white in the source material. While the narrative naturally integrates diverse characters and relationships, it does not explicitly critique or portray traditional identities negatively, focusing instead on themes of survival and human connection.
