Progressive
Primary

The show includes a main character who is bisexual and a positively portrayed gay character in a supporting role, contributing to an overall affirming and respectful portrayal of queer identity.
The show features Parker, a prominent female character, who frequently engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, utilizing her agility and martial arts expertise.
The series frequently exposes corrupt individuals who exploit Christian faith or institutions for personal gain. However, the narrative consistently condemns the abuse of power and hypocrisy, rather than the faith itself, often portraying sincere religious communities as sympathetic victims.
