Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The series is rated as Clearly Left due to its central thesis explicitly promoting progressive feminist ideology, foregrounding women's agency, bodily autonomy, and critiquing patriarchal power structures within medical and societal contexts.

The series incorporates intentional DEI-driven casting, featuring a diverse multiracial cast, a trans actress portraying a trans character, and a bisexual character. Its narrative explicitly critiques patriarchal societies and uses anti-witch cults as a metaphor for targeting marginalized communities.

Secondary

Mayfair Witches intentionally prioritizes and normalizes LGBTQ+ representation, weaving diverse queer characters and themes into the show's core identity. The creators aimed for inclusivity, making queer experiences central to the narrative and atmosphere, affirming the worth of LGBTQ+ lives within its supernatural setting.

Mayfair Witches features Jojo, a trans woman, depicted as an empowered and respected Mayfair witch. Her trans identity is naturally integrated into the narrative, treated without comment as equal to other women witches, and not a source of conflict. The portrayal emphasizes dignity, equality, and acceptance, contributing to a normalizing and affirming representation within the series' diverse cast.

The series portrays Christianity with tension, highlighting fanatical beliefs through characters like Carlotta and depicting its institutions as challenged by supernatural forces. Historical Christian conflicts also contribute to a narrative that uses the faith as a backdrop for struggle rather than affirmation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The series does not feature any characters whose on-screen gender explicitly differs from their established gender in the source material, despite diverse casting choices.

The casting for major characters like Rowan, Lasher, and Cortland Mayfair aligns with their established European-descended or phenotypical descriptions in the novels. Ciprien Grieve is a new character for the series, and his race was not specified in the source material, thus not constituting a race swap.
