Center
Primary
The film leans right due to its championing of individual action and retribution outside of a failed state justice system, emphasizing personal responsibility and a distrust of institutions over systemic reform.
The series 'Mom' features a cast with visible diversity in its supporting roles, though its main ensemble is predominantly white without explicit DEI-driven recasting. The narrative centers on themes of addiction and recovery, rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
Mom features Marjorie, an openly lesbian main supporting character whose stable marriage is depicted with dignity and normalcy. Her identity is integrated respectfully into the narrative, contributing to a positive and affirming portrayal of an LGBTQ+ individual within the show's ensemble.
The show frequently references a 'Higher Power' in AA/NA, often aligning with Christian-leaning spirituality, and portrays devout characters like Marjorie as sources of strength and wisdom. While individual characters may express cynicism, the narrative generally affirms the positive impact of faith and spiritual growth on recovery.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Mom is an original sitcom with no prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created for the show, meaning there are no instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender than their established canonical or historical baseline.
Mom is an original sitcom that created its own characters. There is no prior source material, historical context, or previous installments from which characters' races could have been established and subsequently changed.
