From what’s known about "Toxic Town," identity-based casting and messaging appear front-and-center, with frequent focus on characters’ backgrounds over their competence or development. Multiple plotlines seem tailored to highlight social issues rather than organic storytelling, leading to the impression that narrative serves the message, not vice versa.

The show seems to take a dim view of traditional values, painting institutions like family, religion, and masculinity as either ineffectual or outright problematic. Moral clarity is largely absent, replaced by a relentless critique of anything resembling conventional cultural foundations.

Alternative or traditional perspectives are largely missing or caricatured as regressive obstacles to progress. There’s little meaningful ideological diversity or debate, everyone appears to sing from the same hymn sheet of modern progressive values.
