Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The series primarily focuses on lighthearted mystery, romantic comedy, and the individual resourcefulness of its characters, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology. While it touches on themes like sexism in the workplace, its narrative solution is pragmatic and individualistic, not a call for systemic change.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The series features a predominantly white cast, consistent with traditional mainstream television of its time, and does not include any explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, without engaging in critical portrayals or explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Remington Steele, a detective comedy-drama from the 1980s, does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The show's narrative focuses exclusively on heterosexual relationships and traditional crime-solving plots, resulting in no LGBTQ+ representation.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The show primarily focuses on mystery and lighthearted drama. While female characters like Laura Holt are intelligent and resourceful, they do not typically engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents through skill or strength. Their victories are usually achieved through intellect, strategy, or escape.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Remington Steele is an original television series. Its main characters were created for the show and do not have prior canonical or historical gender establishments that could be altered.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Remington Steele is an original television series that premiered in 1982. Its characters were created for the show, meaning there was no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment to establish their race before their on-screen portrayal. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
