'And Just Like That…' is widely seen as emphasizing identity factors, race, gender, sexuality, over organic character development. Longstanding characters seem retooled to accommodate new, diverse cast members, sometimes at the expense of established personalities and story coherence. Plotlines often feel driven by social commentary rather than genuine narrative needs.

The show repeatedly questions traditional family, relationship, and gender roles, sometimes portraying masculinity and conventional morals as relics, while holding up new ideologies as unquestionably superior. Religion and old-fashioned values generally get little more than lip service or gentle mockery.

Dissenting or traditional opinions are either underrepresented or reduced to strawmen and awkward jokes. Nearly every main character quickly aligns with modern progressive assumptions, stifling any nuanced debate or pluralism, making it ideologically uniform throughout.
