The film primarily focuses on true crime storytelling, centering around real-life events and characters. While there are elements that touch on healthcare system critiques and female-led narratives, the characters’ race, gender, and other identity factors don’t overpower the story. Emphasis is on tension and emotional drama over ideology, with no egregious narrative sacrifices for representation.

'The Good Nurse' provides a nuanced exploration of morality and the failures of institutions but doesn’t aggressively undermine religion, family, or traditional roles. If anything, it highlights the importance of compassion, empathy, and moral responsibility, which align with broadly accepted values. Discussions of gender roles are present but not heavy-handed or overwhelmingly subversive.

There is some critique of the healthcare system and bureaucracy, but alternative perspectives are not outright villainized or mocked. The narrative stays focused on the real-world consequences of institutional failure rather than using caricatured portrayals of dissenting viewpoints. Ideological uniformity is low; characters have individual motivations and flaws.
