Traditional
Primary
Dragnet explicitly promotes a "law and order" ideology, portraying crime as a result of individual moral failings and championing strict, professional law enforcement as the primary solution to societal disorder, aligning with clearly conservative values.
The film features traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps for established roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on law enforcement, presenting traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The series consistently upholds a traditional moral code and respect for law and order, which often implicitly aligns with mainstream Christian values of the era. Characters expressing faith are generally portrayed with respect, contributing to a positive, if understated, depiction.
As a police procedural from the late 1960s, Dragnet did not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The show, a product of its era, focused on crime and law enforcement from a conservative perspective, and discussions of queer identity were absent from its narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1967 revival of Dragnet continued with its established male lead characters, Sgt. Joe Friday and Officer Bill Gannon, portrayed by male actors. There are no instances of legacy characters from prior Dragnet iterations being portrayed by a different gender in this series.
The 1967 "Dragnet" series continued with the original actors, Jack Webb as Joe Friday and Harry Morgan as Bill Gannon, maintaining their established racial portrayals from previous iterations. No established characters had their race changed.
