Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

A Touch of Frost is a traditional police procedural focused on solving individual crimes and the character of a dedicated detective. Its apolitical nature and emphasis on individual accountability for criminal acts, rather than promoting specific ideological solutions or systemic critiques, firmly place it in the neutral category.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie, a classic British police drama, features traditional casting with a predominantly white ensemble, consistent with its production era and setting. Its narrative focuses on conventional crime-solving without critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: Medium

A Touch of Frost features occasional LGBTQ+ characters, primarily in isolated crime plots where their identity is a factor. The show condemns prejudice and violence, but these portrayals are incidental, lacking deep exploration or sustained positive or negative arcs. The net impact is neutral, as queer identity is present but neither uplifted nor denigrated holistically.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The show "A Touch of Frost" is a direct adaptation of R.D. Wingfield's novels. All major characters, including Detective Inspector Jack Frost, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. There are no instances of characters canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender on screen.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

As an original television series, "A Touch of Frost" created its characters without prior canonical or historical racial depictions. Therefore, no character could have been race-swapped from pre-existing source material.
