Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

While acknowledging the struggles of poverty, the show's central narrative champions individual entrepreneurship and hard work as the primary solution to economic hardship, aligning with themes of self-reliance and free-market principles rather than systemic critique.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The series features a visibly diverse supporting cast, including Asian, Black, and Eastern European immigrant characters, alongside its two white female leads.
