Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter of crime-solving through logic and individual intellect is inherently apolitical, and the narrative does not explicitly promote or critique specific political ideologies, focusing instead on universal themes of reason and justice.
This film, based on the classic Sherlock Holmes stories, features traditional casting that aligns with its historical setting, without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on its core mystery elements rather than explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The series, set in Victorian England, implicitly upholds Christian values as a moral standard. The narrative often aligns with these virtues, treating the faith and its institutions with general respect, even when individual adherents are flawed.
Based on the original stories and common adaptations of 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,' there are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present in the narrative. The series does not depict or engage with queer identity in any capacity.
The 1984 'Sherlock Holmes' television series, consistent with its source material and production era, does not include any discernible transsexual characters or explore related themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in a 'N/A' assessment for transsexual depiction.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1984–1985 adaptation of Sherlock Holmes faithfully portrays all established characters, such as Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Mrs. Hudson, with their canonical genders from Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. No character's gender was altered from the source material.
The series adapts Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. All major characters, including Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their canonically established depictions, with no instances of a race swap.
