The show primarily focuses on the dramatic real-world corporate and legal saga of Carlos Ghosn, sticking close to factual reporting and personal testimony. There’s little sign of forced representation or characters being defined primarily by identity traits. Its narrative isn't overtaken by ideology, aiming more for investigative journalism than preachy messaging.

Cultural elements such as Japanese corporate practices and legal systems are examined, but not overtly undermined. The series avoids ideological reimaginings of family, religion, or tradition, instead presenting multiple cultural perspectives without resorting to heavy-handed critique or revisionism.

The show highlights different viewpoints, including Ghosn’s, Japanese authorities’, and journalists, without painting dissenters as cartoon villains. There's an attempt to present balanced coverage, allowing viewers to make up their own minds , without pushing a monolithic worldview.
