Center
Primary
The series primarily focuses on individual crime-solving and the pursuit of justice for specific acts, rather than engaging with broader societal or political issues. Its apolitical subject matter and emphasis on traditional investigative methods lead to a neutral rating.
The series features visible diversity in its main cast, notably with a prominent Black character in a professional role. However, its narrative primarily maintains a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities and does not explicitly center on DEI themes or offer critiques of traditional roles.
Secondary
The series features very limited LGBTQ+ representation, primarily an incidental depiction of a gay character whose identity serves as a plot point in a murder mystery. The portrayal avoids strong positive or negative arcs, neither affirming nor denigrating queer identity, thus resulting in a neutral net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Diagnosis Murder is an original television series, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing material. Its characters were created for the show, meaning there is no prior canon or historical baseline against which a gender swap could occur.
Diagnosis Murder is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Therefore, its characters were created for the show and have no prior canonical or historical racial depictions to be 'swapped' from.
