Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
A.P. Bio maintains a neutral political stance by focusing on character-driven comedy and the personal growth of its cynical protagonist, rather than engaging with or promoting specific political ideologies or systemic critiques.
The series features visible diversity in its ensemble cast, particularly among the students, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative does not center on explicit DEI themes or explicitly critique traditional identities, instead focusing on character-driven comedy.
Secondary
"A.P. Bio" features openly gay student Victor and implied bisexual/pansexual student Heather. Their LGBTQ+ identities are depicted respectfully as normal facets of their characters, integrated into the show's comedic environment without being central to the plot. The portrayal avoids harmful stereotypes, neither strongly uplifting nor denigrating queer identity, thus maintaining a neutral, incidental presence.
The show features Helen Demarcus, a devout Catholic whose faith is consistently portrayed as a source of her kindness, optimism, and moral compass, often contrasting positively with the protagonist's cynicism. While some comedic elements may lightly satirize religious practices, the narrative ultimately frames Helen's faith as a genuine and positive aspect of her character.
A.P. Bio does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes throughout its run. The narrative focuses on a cynical philosophy professor teaching high school biology and the eccentric staff and students, without engaging with transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
A.P. Bio is an original comedy series, not an adaptation of existing source material or a depiction of historical figures. All characters were created specifically for the show, meaning there are no pre-established characters whose gender could have been changed.
A.P. Bio is an original comedy series that premiered in 2018. Its characters were created for the show and do not have pre-existing canonical or historical racial depictions from prior source material. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
