‘Mulligan’ leans heavily into forced representation, often elevating quirky identity traits above organic character development. Several diverse characters are introduced in ways that feel like box-checking rather than natural fits for the post-apocalyptic story. The show’s focus on identity tends to crowd out meaningful personal arcs, making the plot feel secondary to message.

The show regularly lampoons traditional institutions, family, religion, and especially masculinity, as outdated or ridiculous. Masculine figures are often depicted as buffoons, while the more ‘enlightened’ characters lead the way. Satirical takes border on dismissive toward longstanding cultural traditions, all in service to modern ideological sensibilities.

‘Mulligan’ delivers a one-note worldview, parodying or villainizing any remotely traditional or alternative viewpoint. Dissenters are comedic punching bags, reinforcing one-sided moral conclusions throughout. There’s virtually no genuine debate or pluralism, just everyone agreeing with the new post-reset social rules.
