While the show focuses on Elizabeth Holmes, a female anti-hero, it generally avoids overtly pushing identity over character motivation. However, there is a noticeable framing that spotlights gendered struggles and dynamics, which at times nudges the narrative toward modern ideological touch points, rather than purely sticking to the actual criminal story.

Traditional family, morality, and institutions don’t get explicitly undermined, but there is a slight subtext about 'breaking old systems' as inherently positive. The portrayal of male characters sometimes leans into stereotyping, and Holmes’ rise is cast as a challenge to traditional gender roles, but it doesn’t fully rewrite cultural norms.

Alternative worldviews, especially traditional or apolitical ones, are mostly sidelined. The narrative centers on Holmes’ unique journey, but frames her struggles primarily through modern social lenses without showing much ideological diversity. Critical voices tend to reinforce the overarching message rather than provide true pluralism.
