Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The series explores universal themes of family trauma, grief, and mental illness through the lens of psychological horror, focusing on personal and familial reconciliation rather than advocating for any specific political ideology or societal critique.

The series features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with a traditional interpretation of the source material, though some supporting roles include actors of diverse backgrounds. The narrative primarily explores themes of family trauma and psychological horror without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on strong DEI themes.

Secondary

The show features Theo Crain, a prominent lesbian character whose identity is portrayed with dignity and complexity. Her relationships are depicted respectfully, and her personal struggles are unrelated to her sexual orientation, contributing to an overall affirming representation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 2018 series adapts the novel by Shirley Jackson, reimagining the core characters as a family. While the narrative and relationships are significantly altered, characters retaining names from the source material (Eleanor, Theodora, Luke) maintain their original genders. No established character from the novel is portrayed as a different gender.

The show is an adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel, but the main characters are largely original creations or significantly re-imagined. The race of the few characters sharing names with the novel was not explicitly defined in the source material as being different from their on-screen portrayal.
