The series primarily explores individual psychological and relational dynamics, focusing on personal growth and the complexities of commitment rather than advocating for specific political ideologies or critiquing broader systemic issues. Its core subject matter is largely apolitical.
The series features a visibly diverse cast, including a prominent Hispanic character and various Black supporting roles, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative critiques the individual flaws and self-destructive behaviors of its protagonists, including the white male lead, rather than explicitly framing traditional identities negatively in a broader societal context. Elements addressing mental health and some LGBTQ+ representation are present within the story.
The series features a main character, Edgar Quintero, who comes out as bisexual in its final season. His journey of self-discovery and his same-sex relationship are depicted with dignity, complexity, and acceptance by the narrative and other characters, contributing to an overall affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ identity.
