Primary
The show's focus on the struggles of Latina domestic workers against their wealthy, often corrupt, employers inherently highlights class disparity and labor exploitation, aligning with left-leaning themes despite its entertainment-driven narrative.
The series features an ensemble lead cast composed entirely of Latina women, which is a clear intentional choice for diversity in prominent roles. The narrative frequently critiques traditional identities and privilege by portraying many wealthy, often white, characters negatively, while the minority protagonists are often depicted as more sympathetic and morally sound.
Secondary
Devious Maids features Evelyn Powell's journey of self-discovery in Season 4, where she explores her sexuality and finds a loving relationship with Frances. This portrayal emphasizes Evelyn's happiness and personal growth, depicting her queer relationship with dignity and respect, thus affirming the worth of her identity.
The show consistently portrays Christianity, particularly Catholicism, as a source of comfort, moral guidance, and cultural identity for its main characters. While individual characters may exhibit flaws or hypocrisy, the narrative generally treats the faith itself with respect, often showing characters turning to prayer and spiritual reflection in times of need.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
