Center
Primary
The series primarily focuses on the procedural aspects of apprehending violent criminals through psychological profiling and dedicated law enforcement, exploring individual pathologies and victim impact without explicitly endorsing a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change.
The series features a visibly diverse main cast in its ensemble of FBI profilers, with various racial and ethnic backgrounds represented in key roles. The narrative, however, maintains a neutral stance regarding traditional identities and does not explicitly center DEI themes or offer critiques of traditional roles within its storytelling.
Secondary
Criminal Minds features LGBTQ+ characters primarily as victims, witnesses, or perpetrators in case-of-the-week scenarios. Their identity is acknowledged but rarely central to the narrative's overall message, often serving as an incidental characteristic. The show generally avoids strong affirming or denigrating portrayals, focusing instead on the crime itself.
Criminal Minds often features crimes where perpetrators pervert Christian doctrines or target Christian communities. The show's narrative consistently condemns these acts and the perpetrators, not the faith itself, often portraying victims with sympathy and highlighting the resilience of faith communities.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Criminal Minds is an original series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material. All characters were created for the show, establishing their gender upon introduction. There are no instances of characters from prior canon or history being portrayed with a different gender.
Criminal Minds is an original procedural drama series that premiered in 2005. Its characters were created for the show and do not have pre-existing racial identities established in prior source material, earlier adaptations, or historical records. Therefore, no instances of race swapping occur.
