Animal Control (2023)
Overview
A group of local animal control workers' lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. Leading the crew is Frank, an opinionated, eccentric animal control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. In his past life as a cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, leaving him cynical and curmudgeonly. Despite his rough exterior, he is blessed with an almost superhuman ability to understand animals.

Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The series is a workplace comedy centered on character-driven humor and situational comedy involving animals, and it explicitly does not foreground a distinct political ideology or engage directly with political issues.
The series features a visibly diverse cast with varied ethnic and national backgrounds, and includes women in significant leadership roles. The narrative is primarily a comedic exploration of workplace dynamics and human foibles, without foregrounding explicit DEI themes or critically portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
Animal Control features Victoria Sands, a confident lesbian character integrated into the workplace. While her relationships are part of the narrative, the show does not deeply explore queer identity. Its humor sometimes relies on conventional, occasionally vulgar jokes and stereotypes, leading to a portrayal that is present but neither strongly affirming nor overtly negative.
