Primary
The show's dominant themes align with right-leaning values through its consistent celebration of military effectiveness, patriotism, and the individual heroism of special forces as the primary solution to global threats, despite acknowledging the personal costs.
The series incorporates visible diversity within its main cast, featuring key minority characters in original roles rather than through explicit recasting of traditionally white parts. The narrative maintains a largely neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on the complexities and heroism of military life without explicit critique.
Secondary
SEAL Team features Lisa Davis, a lesbian character, as a highly competent and respected team member. Her identity and relationships are portrayed with dignity and emotional depth, avoiding stereotypes. The show integrates her LGBTQ+ identity naturally, contributing to a net positive and affirming depiction.
The show generally portrays Christianity as a source of personal strength, moral guidance, and community for its characters, treating their faith with respect and as a positive coping mechanism in their demanding lives.
While depicting the severe threat of radical Islamic extremism, the show consistently distinguishes between these extremist groups and the broader religion of Islam. It frequently portrays innocent Muslim civilians and moderate Muslim characters with sympathy, highlighting their suffering and resilience against the very extremists the SEALs are fighting.
The show primarily focuses on male special operations forces. Female characters are present in support, intelligence, or civilian roles. There are no instances where a female character is depicted winning a close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
SEAL Team is an original military drama series. All characters were created for the show, meaning there are no pre-existing canonical or historical figures whose gender could have been altered for their portrayal in this production.
