Primary
The series leans left by consistently emphasizing institutional accountability, social justice, and the nuanced portrayal of marginalized communities, framing its crime procedural narratives around systemic critiques rather than individual failings.
The series demonstrates significant DEI through its intentional diverse casting, notably recasting traditionally white characters with Black actors. It also explores social dynamics, includes disability representation, and avoids ethnic stereotypes, contributing to an inclusive and authentic portrayal of its setting.
Secondary
Will Trent offers a positive and affirming portrayal of the LGBTQ+ community, integrating diverse queer characters realistically and multidimensionally. The show avoids stereotypes, addresses social issues, and respectfully celebrates LGBTQ+ culture, as seen in an episode centered on a drag club. Identities are integral but not defining, contributing to an inclusive narrative.
The character Nico, who was not explicitly non-binary in the original Karin Slaughter novels, is portrayed as non-binary in the 2023 TV series. This change in gender presentation from the source material constitutes a gender swap.
Faith Mitchell and Amanda Wagner, originally depicted as white in the source books, are portrayed by Black actresses in the series. Additionally, Will Trent, described with sandy/dirty-blond hair in the books, is played by a Puerto Rican actor, constituting multiple instances of race swapping.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
