Traditional
Primary
The film's central focus on the unwavering dedication and effectiveness of traditional law enforcement as the primary solution to crime, emphasizing order and individual accountability, aligns with right-leaning 'law and order' themes.
The film's casting is traditional for its era, featuring a predominantly white and male ensemble without any intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on standard police procedural elements without incorporating explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The series, while not overtly religious, consistently upholds a moral framework rooted in traditional Judeo-Christian ethics. When Christian institutions or figures appear, they are generally depicted as respected pillars of the community, contributing positively to social order and individual morality, aligning with the show's overall values.
