"Life & Beth" leans heavily into themes around identity, relationships, and empowerment, with certain characters and scenarios seeming crafted more for making points about gender and social issues than pure character-driven storytelling. The focus on Beth's journey is relatable, but sometimes it feels like ideology guides character choices over organic development.

The show often questions traditional views on family, relationships, and masculinity. In several episodes, traditional roles get the short end of the stick, and conventional morality is given a somewhat cynical or dismissive treatment. It's clearly aiming to reinterpret familiar ideas rather than reinforce them.

While the series occasionally features conflicting perspectives, the narrative consistently affirms modern ideological norms. More traditional voices are either absent, minimized, or treated comedically, so there’s not a lot of genuine debate or tension around values, it's a fairly uniform worldview.
