Progressive
Primary
The series explicitly promotes progressive ideology by consistently focusing on systemic critiques, identity politics, and social justice activism within a university setting, championing collective action and identity affirmation as solutions to societal problems.
The series features a highly diverse main cast, with lead roles intentionally filled by minority actors. Its narrative consistently and explicitly explores various DEI themes, often critiquing traditional identities and societal power structures through the experiences of its characters.
Secondary
Grown-ish offers a primarily positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, notably through Nomi Segal's arc as a bisexual woman. Her identity, relationships, and personal challenges are explored with dignity and complexity, affirming the worth of queer lives and experiences within the show's diverse collegiate setting.
The show explores Christianity primarily through characters' personal relationships with their faith, often depicting struggles with traditional teachings or institutional hypocrisy. However, it generally frames these as individual challenges or critiques of specific interpretations, rather than condemning the religion itself, allowing for nuanced personal journeys.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Grown-ish is a spin-off of Black-ish, featuring established characters like Zoey Johnson and Junior Johnson, whose genders remain consistent with their original portrayals. The show primarily introduces new characters, which do not qualify as gender swaps.
