The show's holistic portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters is primarily positive, largely due to Michel Gerard's explicit and affirming gay identity in 'A Year in the Life.' His marriage and life are depicted with dignity and normalcy, free from prejudice or mockery. The original series lacked explicit representation but also avoided negative stereotypes.

The show portrays Christianity with nuance, particularly through Mrs. Kim's Seventh-day Adventist faith. While her strictness provides comedic conflict, the narrative also highlights her strength, morality, and the purpose her faith provides, positioning the audience to understand and often sympathize with her. The show explores the challenges of faith in a modern world without condemning the religion itself.

Judaism is depicted positively as a respected cultural and familial background for characters like Paris Geller and Doyle. It adds depth to their identities without being a source of conflict or critique.
