Primary
The series explicitly critiques systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia within historical Hollywood, championing diversity, inclusion, and the empowerment of marginalized voices as the central solution to these societal problems.
The series features visible diversity through its original characters, including Black and Filipino-American leads. Its narrative explicitly critiques the traditional, discriminatory power structures of post-WWII Hollywood, portraying established white, male figures as obstacles to the advancement of marginalized individuals.
Secondary
The series "Hollywood" offers a largely positive and affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters, reimagining history to show queer individuals overcoming systemic homophobia to achieve success, love, and public acceptance. It critiques past prejudices while celebrating queer identity and relationships.
The historical figure George Cukor, who was white, is portrayed by Vincent Rodriguez III, an actor of Asian descent, constituting a race swap.
The series prominently features Jewish characters who face systemic anti-Semitism in post-war Hollywood. The narrative consistently condemns this prejudice, portraying the characters with dignity and highlighting the injustice of their discrimination.
