Primary
Diagnosis: Murder is a classic crime procedural focused on solving individual murder cases through deductive reasoning and investigation. Its apolitical subject matter and emphasis on individual culpability and the restoration of order prevent it from aligning with any specific political ideology.
The series features visible diversity in its main cast, including a prominent Black female character in a professional role. However, its narrative primarily focuses on traditional crime-solving without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The show features a transsexual character whose identity is central to a murder plot. Her past is treated as a secret that leads to blackmail and danger, framing her identity as a source of vulnerability and conflict rather than exploring it with dignity or empathy.
Diagnosis: Murder, a procedural crime drama, does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes throughout its run. The show's narrative primarily focuses on traditional crime-solving and character dynamics without exploring queer identities or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Diagnosis Murder is an original television series, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing material. Its characters were created for the show, meaning there is no prior canon or historical baseline against which a gender swap could occur.
Diagnosis Murder is an original television series, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Therefore, its characters were created for the show and have no prior canonical or historical racial depictions to be 'swapped' from.
