Z Nation (2014)

Z Nation features several LGBTQ+ characters and relationships, including a prominent lesbian couple and a gay relationship for a main character. These are integrated naturally into the narrative, treated with dignity, and face challenges stemming from the apocalyptic setting rather than their sexual orientation. The show normalizes queer identities without making them a source of specific conflict or ridicule.

The show features multiple female characters, including Roberta Warren and Addy Carver, who are frequently depicted winning close-quarters physical fights against male zombies and human adversaries using melee weapons and hand-to-hand combat.

The show frequently portrays Christian-coded cults and religious figures as manipulative, dangerous, or delusional, using faith to control survivors in the post-apocalyptic world. There is no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal of the faith itself.
