While it critically examines corruption within powerful institutions, its narrative ultimately reinforces the efficacy and necessity of the existing justice system, aligning with a right-leaning perspective.

Secondary

Their queer identities are depicted with dignity, complexity, and agency, integrated into their character arcs without relying on harmful stereotypes. The show normalizes their presence and treats their identities with respect, contributing to an overall affirming portrayal.
