This crime drama remains focused on suspenseful storytelling and character-driven plots, rather than shoehorning in forced identity politics or ticking diversity checkboxes. Representation, where present, fits the world and narrative without overt disruption. The show puts merit and realism before ideology for the most part, and avoids making identity central to the plot or characterization.

The series explores heavy themes around religion, trust, and morality, but it doesn’t ridicule or tear down traditional cultural touchstones. Religion is central to the drama and treated seriously, not as a punchline. Family ties and the quest for justice remain crucial, rather than being undermined.

Alternative perspectives are treated with some nuance, and there’s no bludgeoning viewers with overt ideology. The focus is on the crime and those affected, rather than making heavy-handed statements about societal issues. Traditional morality isn’t villainized and the show allows its characters complexity.
