Leans Progressive
Primary

The series features a diverse ensemble cast from its initial conception, integrating various racial and ethnic backgrounds into its core group of friends. While the narrative explores the personal and social challenges faced by its characters, including those related to identity, it does not explicitly frame traditional identities negatively or center its plot around a strong DEI critique.
