The series features a gender-swapped lead and a prominent gay character, with identity factors often front and center. It appears some characters are written to check diversity boxes rather than organically fitting into the classic mystery mold. Narrative focus on representation sometimes overshadows tension and character nuance, giving it a very modern vibe.

Traditional family and gender roles are largely disregarded; the show elevates non-traditional relationships and identities, while masculinity and classic family dynamics are peripheral or subverted. Any hint of religious or cultural heritage is minimal and sometimes depicted as outdated or irrelevant.

Alternative or traditional worldviews scarcely get a fair shake. Anyone with a perspective outside progressive ideals tends to be written as a caricature or out-of-touch. There’s very little authentic debate, almost all characters seem to share the same modern assumptions and values.
