Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis champions female solidarity and critiques domestic abuse and patriarchal violence, aligning with progressive values concerning gender equality and victim empowerment.
The series demonstrates significant diversity through the casting of a traditionally white role with a minority actress. Its narrative explicitly critiques traditional male identities, focusing on themes of female solidarity and resilience against male violence and patriarchal structures.
Secondary
The show features a very minor, incidental depiction of a child character expressing interest in another girl. This portrayal is presented neutrally, without being central to the plot or character development, and avoids both affirming and problematic framing.
The character Bonnie Carlson, explicitly described as half-Maori in the source novel, is portrayed by a Black actress in the series. This constitutes a change in her established racial background.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The television series "Big Little Lies" adapts the novel of the same name. All primary and secondary characters, as established in the source material, retain their original genders in the on-screen adaptation, with no instances of a character's gender being changed.
