White Sands appears to prioritize character-driven detective storytelling without obviously shoehorning in identity politics or diversity for diversity’s sake. Characters seem to be developed with genuine personal backstories rather than boxes to check. The plot remains focused on the mystery, not turning into a soapbox for current social dogmas.

The series deals with themes like family, personal loss, and moral ambiguity without overtly mocking or undermining traditional values. Masculinity, femininity, and authority figures are treated relatively even-handedly, avoiding the usual caricatures found in more aggressively woke content.

Various perspectives are explored through the personal struggles and dilemmas of the main characters; the show doesn’t simply villainize traditional or dissenting views, nor does it enforce a single ideological message. There’s a sense of natural pluralism in its worldview.
