The narrative primarily focused on police procedural elements and character-driven comedy, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity. Consequently, there is no discernible positive, negative, or neutral portrayal to evaluate.

There are no clear instances where a female character is depicted as victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts.
