Leans Progressive
Primary
The show's central focus on solving legal cases and navigating family dynamics within established legal and social structures, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies, places it as neutral. The solutions championed rely on individual competence and adherence to the existing system rather than advocating for systemic change.
The series features a visibly diverse supporting cast, though its central family characters are white, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on legal cases and family dynamics rather than explicit critiques or strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The show features Lyle, a main character, who is openly gay. His sexuality is depicted as a normal aspect of his life, without being sensationalized or used for comedic effect. He is portrayed as a competent and respected professional, and his past relationships are handled with dignity, contributing to an affirming representation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
So Help Me Todd is an original legal drama series. All characters were created specifically for this show, meaning there is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installments from which to establish a canonical gender for any character. Therefore, no gender swaps occurred.
