Commentary: The show features themes of identity and social issues, particularly around race and disability, presenting progressive viewpoints, particularly in relation to Deaf culture and the challenges faced by characters from different backgrounds. There are clear narratives involving social justice and identity exploration, thus justifying a moderate wokeness score. The show also highlights gender dynamics where female characters often take the lead, with male characters at times portrayed less favorably, supporting a solid feminist perspective. The romantic and emotional arcs, particularly the relationships between the main characters, drive significant portions of the story, reflecting elements common in chick flicks, but they are balanced with broader themes, justifying a mid-range score. Overall, the show balances these themes with a focus on personal and social challenges, maintaining a level of nuance.
