Leans Right

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: Medium

While the film critiques police corruption and institutional failure, its central solution champions individual responsibility and heroism over systemic reform, aligning with right-leaning values of individual agency.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a visibly diverse cast that reflects a modern society, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles for DEI purposes. Its narrative primarily focuses on institutional critique rather than explicitly framing traditional identities negatively or making DEI themes central to its core message.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: High

The series includes a minor character who is lesbian, but her identity is not explored in depth. The portrayal is neither overtly positive nor negative, serving as an incidental characteristic without significant narrative impact on the show's themes or plot.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Line of Duty is an original British police procedural drama. All its characters were created specifically for the show and do not derive from any prior source material, historical figures, or legacy adaptations. Therefore, no character's gender could have been swapped from a pre-established canon.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Line of Duty is an original British television series with no prior source material, historical figures, or previous adaptations. All characters were created for the show, meaning there is no established canonical race to be altered.
