While the core naval and military narratives remain grounded in period conventions across all seasons, Season 1 stands out for deliberately introducing prominent female characters and an explicit lesbian romance subplot to expand the land-based resistance arc, an addition framed by creators as necessary for modern television appeal. Subsequent seasons largely revert to traditional storytelling with period-appropriate casting, historical resistance efforts, and minimal contemporary overlays, though some female subplots persist in organic contexts. This results in an overall content profile that is mostly restrained but includes isolated progressive representation, aligning with the show's official woke score of 3/10.
