Center
Primary
The series centers on an eccentric individual's unique ability to find lost items and solve mysteries, emphasizing individual ingenuity and the restoration of personal order rather than engaging with broader political ideologies or systemic critiques.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, including a Black male and a Hispanic female in prominent roles, without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on a procedural drama without making DEI themes central or critical to its plot.
Secondary
The series includes Timo Proud, an openly gay recurring character. His sexuality is presented as a matter-of-fact aspect of his identity, neither central to the plot nor a source of conflict or affirmation. He is depicted as a helpful and respected individual, leading to a neutral overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.
The character Leo Knox, who is depicted as white in the source novels by Richard Greener, is portrayed by a Black actor in the television series, which constitutes a race swap.
The film portrays Christian clergy as compassionate, dedicated, and morally upright individuals who actively contribute to their communities. Their faith is presented as a genuine source of their virtuous actions and wisdom, without any narrative critique or satire.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Finder is a spin-off from the show Bones, based on "The Locator" book series. The main characters from the source material maintain their established genders, and new characters introduced for the series do not constitute gender swaps.
