Center
Primary
The series primarily focuses on human drama, crime investigation, and personal grief within a specific community, without explicitly promoting or critiquing any particular political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white cast, consistent with its setting in a small, working-class town, without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative focuses on a crime drama and character development, and does not critically portray traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
The series features a significant supporting character, Siobhan, who is openly lesbian. Her relationship is depicted with normalcy and respect, serving as a source of support without being sensationalized or problematized. Her queer identity is integrated seamlessly into her complex character arc, which primarily focuses on grief and family dynamics.
The film portrays Catholicism as an integral and supportive part of the Easttown community, offering comfort, moral guidance, and a sense of belonging, especially during times of grief. Clergy are depicted as compassionate figures, and the institution itself is not subjected to critique or negative stereotypes.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
