The show features LGBTQ+ characters primarily as victims in crime plots, where their identity often serves as a source of conflict, secrecy, or the motive for tragic events. While acknowledging their existence, the narrative frequently links queer identity to suffering and punitive outcomes, lacking a consistent affirming stance.

The series features a transsexual character whose identity is presented as a shocking revelation and a source of deception within a murder investigation. The narrative leverages her trans identity for dramatic effect and suspicion, rather than offering an empathetic or dignified portrayal, thus reinforcing problematic stereotypes.
