Primary

The series features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, incorporating various racial and ethnic backgrounds among its characters. The narrative explores themes of power and societal structure, with diverse characters and relationships, but does not center on an explicit critique of traditional identities.

Their relationships are integrated naturally into the narrative, contributing to an overall affirming and positive portrayal of queer identity.
While individual characters find personal solace in faith, the most prominent depiction of Christianity as a societal force is through Lexie's faction, which uses religious dogma to justify authoritarianism, scapegoating, and division, leading to significant conflict and harm within the community. The narrative portrays this misuse of religion as fundamentally problematic.
