The series features a prominent gay character, Robert Diaz, whose storyline explores the challenges of being queer in the 1960s. His character is depicted with complexity and dignity, navigating societal prejudice and personal relationships. The narrative frames external obstacles as the source of his struggles, maintaining an empathetic stance towards his identity and experiences.

The series satirizes the wealthy Palm Beach elite, many of whom are nominally Christian, by consistently portraying them as hypocritical, self-serving, and morally bankrupt. Their 'Christian' practices are often shown as performative and superficial, serving only to maintain social status rather than reflecting genuine faith or virtue. The narrative validates this critique of their moral failings.
