The show appears to prioritise surface-level identity markers, race, gender, sexuality, over meaningful character arcs or narrative consistency. Classic characters are recast with little regard for the lore or original intent, arguably sacrificing story cohesion in favor of modern representation. Many viewers feel these changes overshadow plot and authentic development.

Traditional themes of heroism, masculinity, and established cultural touchstones from Pratchett’s world are reimagined or subverted entirely. Longstanding source material, including gender roles and the tone of the original work, is treated as outdated, replaced by overtly modern moral attitudes that sometimes border on parody.

Alternative worldviews are mainly represented as outmoded, villainous, or absurd, with little genuine discussion or nuance. The show’s cast is ideologically uniform, all championing contemporary dogmas. Dissenters are often caricatured, undermining the possibility for meaningful debate or pluralism within the narrative.
