In our view, 'Halston' heavily emphasizes the protagonist's sexual identity and personal struggles, with many plot points revolving around these themes at the expense of broader character complexity. While entertaining, it sometimes feels like the story is shaped to make ideological statements rather than letting the character arcs develop organically.

The show appears to frame traditional family structures and masculinity as outdated, favoring liberated, avant-garde values. Religion and conventional morality get minimal attention or are portrayed as obstacles. This reimagining arguably undermines more traditional cultural foundations in favor of modern pursuits.

Most alternative worldviews, especially traditional ideas of gender, sexuality, and family, are sidelined or shown in a negative light. Competing moral or cultural perspectives rarely get a sincere or nuanced depiction, making the show's value system feel fairly one-sided.
