Primary
The film's central subject matter of a teenage detective solving a mystery is inherently apolitical, and its narrative champions universal virtues like individual integrity and deductive reasoning rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting for its main characters, aligning with the established portrayals of the source material. Its narrative focuses on a mystery without explicitly addressing or critiquing traditional identities or incorporating central DEI themes.
Secondary
The series "Nancy Drew" offers a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, primarily through Bess Marvin, who is openly bisexual and later lesbian. Her identity and relationships are depicted with dignity, complexity, and emotional depth, seamlessly integrated into the narrative without tokenism or negative framing. The show affirms the worth of queer lives and love.
The 2019 "Nancy Drew" series features several core characters, including George Fayne, Bess Marvin, and Ned Nickerson, who were canonically white in the original book series but are portrayed by actors of different races.
