Center
Primary
The series leans right due to its central focus on celebrating the duty, sacrifice, and effectiveness of a U.S. Navy SEAL team in combating terrorism, portraying them as unequivocal heroes.
The series 'SIX' features a visibly diverse cast, including Hispanic, Black, and South Asian actors in significant roles, without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. The narrative, typical of a military drama, frames traditional identities neutrally or positively, focusing on themes of duty and service rather than offering a critique of these identities or making DEI themes central.
Secondary
The series features Jackie Ortiz, a lesbian CIA officer, whose identity is portrayed positively. Her character is competent and integral to the plot, with her sexuality presented as a normalized aspect of her life, free from conflict or prejudice. The show affirms her worth by depicting her with dignity and agency.
Christianity is generally portrayed as a source of personal strength, comfort, and moral guidance for several U.S. Navy SEAL characters and their families. The narrative treats these expressions of faith with respect, showing how characters grapple with their beliefs amidst the challenges of war.
The primary depiction of Islam in the series is through the actions and ideology of the extremist group Boko Haram, who serve as the main antagonists. Their interpretation of Islam is presented as a justification for violence, oppression, and fanaticism, without significant counterbalancing portrayals of mainstream or positive Islamic practices.
The series focuses on a Navy SEAL team, and while female characters are present in supporting roles (e.g., wives, intelligence analysts), none are depicted engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents.
The series "SIX" features original characters created for the show. There are no pre-existing canonical, historical, or widely established characters whose gender was altered for this portrayal.
The series "SIX" (2017) features original characters created for the show. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous adaptation from which these characters' races were established, thus precluding a race swap.
