Agent Hamilton introduces more diverse characters compared to previous entries in the franchise, but overall core characterizations and story arcs are largely preserved. However, there are a few moments where identity appears to influence casting rather than organic story needs. The show occasionally leans into modern tropes, but classic espionage elements remain intact.

The series does touch on themes like patriotism, Swedish traditions, and international intrigue. However, traditional masculine traits are often softened; male characters occasionally appear less confident while female and minority characters are at times presented as more competent. Still, it doesn’t absolutely undermine cultural or familial structures.

Agent Hamilton incorporates some contemporary political themes, veering into ideological messaging, especially with portrayals of intelligence agencies and certain political stances. Traditional or dissenting perspectives are usually underrepresented, though not completely vilified. There’s a subtle lean toward modern assumptions with limited philosophical diversity.
