The show consistently showcases characters whose identities (race, sexuality) are foregrounded, sometimes at the expense of more nuanced character arcs. Storylines often feel written around representing as many social issues as possible, creating a sense that ideological messaging is driving the narrative more than organic character development.

Traditional family dynamics and religion are often shown as sources of trauma, while unconventional family structures and lifestyles are celebrated. Masculinity is generally portrayed in a negative light, and the series frequently aligns with a progressive view of gender roles and relationships.

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are usually presented via problematic or one-dimensional antagonists. Sincere representations of more non-woke values are rare, giving the show a tone of overwhelming ideological conformity.
