Leans Progressive
Primary
Mistresses receives a neutral rating as its central focus is on the personal dramas and complex relationships of four women, exploring themes of infidelity, friendship, and individual choices without explicitly promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology or societal structure.
The movie features a visibly diverse main cast, including White, Asian, and Black lead characters, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on personal relationships and challenges, maintaining a neutral stance on traditional identities and not centering on explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The show positively portrays a main character's exploration of her bisexuality. Her same-sex relationships are depicted with dignity, complexity, and agency, receiving significant narrative focus. Challenges faced are external dramatic conflicts, not tied to or demeaning her queer identity, affirming the worth of LGBTQ+ lives and love within the narrative.
The 2013 US adaptation of "Mistresses" features several main characters whose races differ from their established counterparts in the original British series. For instance, characters originally portrayed as white are recast as Black and Asian, and a character originally portrayed as South Asian is recast as white.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2013 American series "Mistresses" is an adaptation of the 2008 British series. Both versions feature four female protagonists, and no established character from the source material was portrayed as a different gender in the adaptation.
