Primary
The series primarily focuses on intellectual crime-solving through the unique cognitive abilities of its protagonist, Dr. Daniel Pierce. It avoids taking a strong political stance on mental health or law enforcement, instead emphasizing individual genius and the complexities of human perception.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, including prominent roles for Black male actors, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on its procedural drama elements rather than explicit DEI themes or critiques.
