Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central focus on crime, mystery, and the application of individual intellect and logic to solve puzzles and restore order is largely apolitical, transcending specific progressive or conservative ideologies.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie, based on the traditional portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, features primarily traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of core characters. Its narrative focuses on mystery-solving within a historical context, without critically portraying traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: High

The show includes characters with non-heteronormative orientations, such as Sherlock's asexuality/aromanticism and Irene Adler's sexual fluidity. These elements are present but largely incidental, serving as character traits rather than central LGBTQ+ themes, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The series adapts Arthur Conan Doyle's characters, maintaining the established genders for all major and recurring roles, including Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Professor Moriarty. No canonical characters were portrayed as a different gender.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The show "Sherlock" adapts Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. All major and legacy characters, including Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Mycroft Holmes, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their established canonical depictions.
