Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The show is a mockumentary comedy primarily focused on the absurd daily lives of vampires, and its central themes are apolitical, centering on character dynamics and situational humor rather than promoting any specific political ideology or solution.

The series features a visibly diverse main cast, including characters of Middle Eastern, Romani, and Latino descent, which contributes to a naturally varied ensemble. The narrative primarily focuses on comedic situations and character-specific flaws, rather than offering explicit critiques of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its core message.

Secondary

What We Do in the Shadows offers a consistently positive and affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and themes. It normalizes diverse sexualities within its vampire society, depicting characters with fluid attractions and relationships without judgment or prejudice. Queer identity is integrated naturally into the characters' complex lives, contributing to a world where all forms of love and attraction are accepted.

The show depicts Christian symbols like crosses and holy water as effective deterrents against vampires, aligning with established supernatural lore. This functional portrayal positions these symbols as a force against evil within the narrative.

The television series "What We Do in the Shadows" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The show primarily focuses on the lives of vampires and other supernatural beings, with no explicit representation or discussion of transsexual identity.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The television series introduces new main characters and features returning characters from the original film who maintain their established gender. No instances of a canonically established character being portrayed as a different gender are present.

The show "What We Do in the Shadows" introduces new main characters who were not present in the original film, thus having no prior established race. Characters from the original film who appear in the series are portrayed by their original actors. Therefore, no race swaps are identified.
