Progressive
Primary
The series balances strong themes of national security and patriotism with progressive portrayals of feminist empowerment and gender equality, resulting in a neutral political stance that avoids deep ideological commentary.
The series incorporates significant diversity through the casting of an actress of Filipino descent in a lead role that was traditionally white. While the narrative includes themes of female empowerment, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or deeply engage with broader DEI issues, maintaining a primary focus on action-comedy entertainment.
Secondary
The series features Helen Tasker, an Omega Sector operative, who consistently engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against male adversaries. She utilizes martial arts and melee weapons in both individual and group fight scenarios.
Helen Tasker, a legacy character from the original film portrayed by a white actress, is recast with a Filipino-American actress in the 2023 series, constituting a race swap.
The 2023 TV series *True Lies* does not feature any notable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline or character arcs. The narrative focuses primarily on espionage, action, and family dynamics, with no significant depiction or exploration of the LGBTQ+ community mentioned in available information or reviews.
The 2023 TV series "True Lies" maintains the original genders of its main characters as established in the source film. No characters are portrayed on screen with a gender different from their canonical or established gender.
