The reboot leans heavily on updated identity themes, often prioritizing modern representation over organic storytelling. Many character traits, including blended families and diverse backgrounds, are spotlighted in a way that frequently overshadows individual depth or organic story arcs. The narrative sometimes feels secondary to the drive for inclusivity.

The show regularly subverts traditional family and gender roles, presenting alternative family dynamics while poking fun at traditional masculine figures. Religion and more conventional cultural touchstones are backgrounded or glossed over, signaling an embrace of current social trends over time-honored values.

Virtually all characters and messages seem aligned with modern progressive values, leaving little room for sincere or sympathetic portrayal of more traditional viewpoints. Whenever traditional perspectives occur, they’re usually shown through out-of-touch or comedic characters.
