Primary
The series primarily focuses on apolitical themes of crime investigation and the unique insights derived from a protagonist with schizophrenia. It emphasizes individual intellect in solving complex cases within a law-and-order framework, rather than promoting specific political ideologies or systemic critiques.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, including prominent roles for Black male actors, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on its procedural drama elements rather than explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The show "Perception" features a transsexual character in the episode "Caleidoscope," where a young trans woman is a murder victim.
