It appears the show places strong emphasis on modern identity themes, especially regarding gender, sometimes at the expense of historical realism. There are moments where character choices seem driven more by contemporary values than authentic period motivation. Forced representation is subtle but present, and some characters are given near-flawless characterization that stretches believability for the era depicted.

Traditional gender roles are often subverted with modern sensibilities. Masculine characters are depicted as obstacles or flawed, while the lead’s independence and rebellion are celebrated beyond what was plausible for the time. There are reinterpretations of 19th-century European values to align with current ideological trends.

The show heavily leans into a contemporary worldview, rarely offering a nuanced or positive portrayal of traditional or dissenting perspectives. Dissent is mostly personified by caricatures or antagonists, and there’s little debate within the story around its modern social values.
