Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is rated as neutral because its core subject matter of private investigation and solving individual crimes is inherently apolitical, focusing on the pursuit of justice and law and order without promoting a specific political ideology or engaging in systemic critiques.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The series features traditional casting with two white male protagonists, reflecting mainstream demographics of its era without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on crime-solving and does not critically portray traditional identities, framing them neutrally or positively without central DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The 1980s detective series 'Simon & Simon' did not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or storylines. As such, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in an N/A rating for its impact on LGBTQ+ representation.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Simon & Simon was an original television series that introduced its characters for the first time. There was no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment to establish a canonical race for its characters before their portrayal in this show.
