Trigger Point focuses on bomb disposal and suspense rather than pushing identity politics. Characters are generally developed according to their roles and expertise, not just their backgrounds. There’s minimal evidence that casting or character arcs were dictated by an ideological agenda, and the show doesn’t rely on forced representation or flawless diverse leads. Narrative integrity remains mostly intact, with high stakes and believable conflicts.

Traditional institutions like family, morality, and even heroism are present and not undermined. Masculine and feminine characters are given meaningful storylines and aren’t simply used as ideological symbols. The show treats its subject matter seriously, without overtly rewriting or subverting British cultural norms for modern messaging. Some may argue there’s a bit of modern sensibility, but nothing overtly woke.

Trigger Point largely refrains from demonizing traditional perspectives or making dissenters the only villains. There's a diversity of worldviews and believable motives among characters, and the show avoids caricatures of 'old-fashioned' perspectives. The ideological environment is much more balanced and open than your average modern police drama.
