Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central subject matter of comedic crime-solving is inherently apolitical, and its narrative focuses on individual ingenuity and friendship within a law enforcement context without promoting explicit progressive or conservative ideologies.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features visible diversity through its co-lead character, who is Black, without engaging in explicit recasting of traditional roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, and DEI themes are not a central focus of the story.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: High

Psych features occasional, minor LGBTQ+ characters and themes. These depictions are generally respectful and avoid harmful stereotypes, but they are not central to the narrative and do not offer deep exploration or affirmation of queer identity. The net impact is neutral, as these incidental portrayals neither significantly uplift nor denigrate.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Psych is an original series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or historical figures. All characters were created for the show, establishing their gender within its own narrative. Therefore, no characters were gender-swapped from a prior canon.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Psych is an original television series with characters created specifically for the show. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment where these characters were established as a different race. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
