Leans Progressive
Primary
The series leans left by critically examining corporate fraud, the ethical vacuum within Silicon Valley's 'fake it till you make it' culture, and the systemic enablers of deception, aligning with progressive concerns about unchecked corporate power and accountability.
The series features a visibly diverse cast, reflecting the real-life figures involved in the Theranos scandal, without explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditional roles. The narrative focuses on critiquing corporate ethics and individual actions rather than explicitly targeting traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The show portrays real historical figures. Ana Arriola, a historical figure identified as female, is portrayed by a non-binary actor. Per the definition, a portrayal of a clearly male or female source character as non-binary counts as a gender swap.
The series 'The Dropout' primarily focuses on the story of Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos scandal. The narrative does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no specific portrayal to evaluate under this framework.
The Dropout does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The series focuses entirely on the factual events surrounding Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos corporation, with no narrative elements related to transsexual identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Dropout is a biographical drama depicting real historical figures. The casting for major and supporting characters accurately reflects the documented racial identities of the individuals portrayed, with no instances of a character established as one race being depicted as another.
