Across its reviewed seasons, the show embeds progressive elements through race-swapping Alina (portrayed by Jessie Mei Li) to emphasize anti-Asian discrimination subplots, diverse casting mandates, and normalized LGBTQ+ arcs such as Jesper's bisexuality and his romance with Wylan, which shift focus toward identity-based conflicts and representation. These changes, highlighted in production decisions, integrate systemic prejudice themes into the narrative without fully overriding the core plot, though they draw criticism for heavy-handed execution in season 1. The aggregate approach results in an official overall woke score of 7/10, reflecting consistent but varying degrees of ideological prioritization over organic storytelling.
