Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The series maintains a neutral stance by balancing themes of prejudice against 'the other' and critiques of corrupt power with an emphasis on law enforcement, individual responsibility, and the necessity of maintaining order through a diverse, cooperative team.
Grimm features visible diversity in its supporting cast, including prominent Black and Asian characters, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, with its primary themes of 'otherness' explored through allegorical supernatural creatures rather than direct human DEI critiques.
Secondary
Grimm includes minor LGBTQ+ representation, notably a recurring lesbian couple whose relationship is portrayed as normal and accepted. While a main character is bisexual, this aspect is largely incidental to her narrative. The show avoids negative stereotypes but does not deeply explore or center LGBTQ+ themes, resulting in a neutral overall impact.
Grimm does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on supernatural creatures (Wesen) and their abilities, which sometimes involve physical transformations, but these are distinct from gender identity or transsexual experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Grimm is an original series that creates its own characters and narrative inspired by fairy tales, rather than directly adapting specific named characters from pre-existing source material with established genders. Therefore, no canonical characters were gender-swapped.
Grimm is an original series inspired by fairy tales, not a direct adaptation of specific characters with established races from prior canon. Its main characters were created for the show, thus no race swaps occurred.
