Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter of solving mysteries and finding lost items or people is inherently apolitical, and while the solution often relies on individual initiative, it does not explicitly promote a specific political ideology.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, including a Black male and a Hispanic female in prominent roles, without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on a procedural drama without making DEI themes central or critical to its plot.
Secondary
The series includes Timo Proud, an openly gay recurring character. His sexuality is presented as a matter-of-fact aspect of his identity, neither central to the plot nor a source of conflict or affirmation. He is depicted as a helpful and respected individual, leading to a neutral overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.
The Finder features a transgender character, Dr. Aris Thorne, portrayed as a respected professional. The narrative also respectfully explores a deceased character's transition, framing her secrecy as a response to external societal pressures. The episode ultimately affirms the dignity and worth of transsexual lives and relationships, leading to a net positive portrayal.
Leo Knox, a character described as white in the source 'The Locator' book series, is portrayed by a Black actor in the television adaptation, constituting a race swap.
The film portrays Christian clergy as compassionate, dedicated, and morally upright individuals who actively contribute to their communities. Their faith is presented as a genuine source of their virtuous actions and wisdom, without any narrative critique or satire.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Finder features original characters created for the series or its backdoor pilot in Bones. There are no instances of characters established as one gender in prior canon or source material being portrayed as a different gender.
