Tales of Babylon

Representation / casting choices

Prominent roles for non-white actors as hitmen and a female assassin in a modern London crime story with no visible forced diversity, identity signaling, or mismatches to setting or character logic.

Political / ideological dialogue

No activist, political, or social-justice dialogue; all conversation stays within crime jobs, banter, pop-culture references, and personal stakes.

Identity-driven story themes

Family abuse, sibling escape, hitman loyalty, and child protection arcs contain no modern identity politics, gender wish-fulfillment, or racial framing.

Institutional / cultural critique

Mobster grandfather's abuse and underworld violence stay personal and genre-specific with no reframing into toxic masculinity, patriarchy, capitalism, or systemic oppression messaging.
