The show prominently features an interracial romance and explores cultural identity, with heavy focus on Abishola’s Nigerian heritage. Some viewers may feel that certain characters are written to highlight diversity rather than organic story development. While there's heart and humor, at times character traits and culture appear to overshadow traditional character-driven arcs.

The show often pokes fun at American customs and depicts traditional family and religious dynamics through a modern lens. Cultural traditions and masculinity are sometimes the butt of jokes, and the story tends to side with progressive interpretations of family and gender roles.

Alternative or traditional perspectives are mostly played for comic effect or depicted as needing to change. There's a notable absence of sincere, differing worldviews, and dissent is rarely taken seriously. The moral viewpoint is firmly in the modern, progressive camp throughout.
