The show generally prioritizes complex character arcs and psychological realism over identity politics. Representation choices seem to fit the setting of a Danish clergy family. There’s no obvious push for diversity quotas or forced casting. While personal conflicts are intense, they rarely feel like they’re making ideological statements at the expense of the story.

Religion, specifically Danish Lutheranism, is at the center but depicted in crisis, grappling with modernity, doubt, and moral ambiguity. The institution of family and faith are often shown as flawed, burdened, or outdated, which some viewers might interpret as undermining traditional values rather than affirming them.

Most characters struggle within a fairly secular, progressive framework, and traditional or dissenting perspectives aren’t exactly vilified, but there is little room for genuinely non-modern worldviews. The overall tone leans toward questioning tradition rather than sincerely defending or debating it.
