Leans Progressive
Primary

The series 'Easy' showcases a visibly diverse ensemble cast across its various independent stories, reflecting a wide array of human experiences. The narrative explores modern relationships and cultural dynamics without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes overtly central to its core message.
Secondary
Easy consistently portrays LGBTQ+ characters with dignity, complexity, and agency across multiple episodes. Their stories are integrated into the show's exploration of modern relationships, addressing themes like open relationships, dating, and career changes without reducing identity to a source of mockery or misery. The overall depiction is respectful and validating.
The series portrays Christian characters with nuance, exploring their personal struggles, internal conflicts, and attempts to reconcile faith with modern life. While individual hypocrisy or challenges to faith are depicted, the narrative maintains empathy for the characters and does not condemn Christianity itself as inherently flawed.
