Famous in Love features some identity-driven casting and themes, though the main narrative still focuses on showbiz drama and personal struggles. Some character arcs place an emphasis on modern social issues over deeper development, but it's not as heavy-handed as more recent examples. The story feels a bit trendy, but not totally overtaken by ideology.

The show explores relationships, fame, and ambition, with some subversions of traditional romantic and family dynamics. However, it doesn't aggressively undermine cultural values. It flirts with themes of empowerment and independence, but in a fairly mild, entertainment-first way rather than overt revisionism.

Most perspectives align with contemporary Hollywood values, diversity, self-expression, and progressive attitudes on relationships. Traditional stances are lightly referenced, yet typically get less screen time or are gently mocked. Still, it doesn’t outright villainize non-conforming characters and offers just enough variety to avoid total uniformity.
