Primary
The series primarily focuses on apolitical themes of personal ambition, family, and romance, with class differences serving as a backdrop for character challenges rather than a central ideological critique or endorsement.
The series 'Acapulco' naturally features a diverse Latinx cast, reflecting its authentic Mexican setting, rather than through explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative, a light-hearted comedy, explores themes of class and ambition without explicitly critiquing traditional identities, resulting in a light presence of DEI.
Secondary
The show features a prominent, openly gay character, Don Pablo, who is portrayed with dignity, complexity, and respect. His identity is not a source of ridicule or negative stereotypes, and his past relationships are handled with empathy, contributing to a net positive and affirming representation of LGBTQ+ individuals.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Acapulco is an original series inspired by the film "How to Be a Latin Lover," but it introduces its own set of characters. There are no instances of established characters from prior source material or history being portrayed with a different gender.
Acapulco is an original series with characters created specifically for the show. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters were adapted and had their race changed.
