Primary
The show's central focus on personal growth, family dynamics, and comedic slice-of-life situations in Queens does not engage with or promote specific political ideologies, resulting in a neutral rating.
The series features a diverse, predominantly Asian-American cast, reflecting the cultural background of its lead. The narrative centers on the experiences of this family without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens features Edmund, a gay main supporting character, whose identity is consistently portrayed with dignity and normalcy. The series integrates his dating life and experiences into the narrative without resorting to harmful stereotypes or making his sexuality the sole focus of his character, contributing to a generally positive and affirming depiction.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The series features original characters created for the show, inspired by Awkwafina's life, rather than adapting pre-existing characters from source material or historical figures. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
This is an original comedy series loosely based on Awkwafina's real-life experiences. The characters are new creations for the show, not adaptations of pre-existing canonical or historical figures, thus precluding a race swap.
