Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter, the investigation of paranormal phenomena, is inherently apolitical, and its narrative focuses on presenting evidence and fostering inquiry rather than promoting any specific political ideology or solution.
The series features a visibly diverse cast within its investigative team, reflecting a degree of representation. However, its narrative primarily focuses on paranormal phenomena and does not explicitly engage with or critique traditional identities, nor does it center DEI themes.
Secondary
The series occasionally features Christian figures or practices (e.g., exorcism) that are depicted as genuinely effective or providing spiritual protection against paranormal threats, aligning the narrative with the practical utility and dignity of these aspects of the faith within the show's universe.
Based on the available information and the show's premise as a paranormal investigation series, there are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present. Therefore, the portrayal is rated as N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal is an original series, not an adaptation of pre-existing source material with established characters. Therefore, no characters were canonically, historically, or widely established as one gender and then portrayed as another.
PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal is an anthology series with recurring hosts and investigators. There are no known instances of a character, established as a specific race in source material or history, being portrayed by an actor of a different race.
