The show heavily emphasizes diverse sexualities and relationships, often giving them center stage in character arcs and humor, sometimes at the expense of plot depth or traditional characterization. Some viewers may see this as prioritizing identity over strong storytelling, with several characters' identities feeling more performative than organic to the narrative.

Helluva Boss regularly mocks religious themes, traditional morality, and family structures, often portraying them as backwards, corrupt, or dysfunctional. Masculinity is typically lampooned, and traditional archetypes are frequently subverted for comedic or ideological effect.

The show’s moral world is almost exclusively shaped by modern identity politics, with little room for traditional or dissenting voices. More conservative values or worldviews are typically played for laughs, if they appear at all, leading to a strong sense of ideological uniformity.
