What, in your opinion, are the most obvious subversion/propaganda messages of the show?
I haven't bothered with the 4th season, but from what I recall from the earlier seasons: Race Mixing (the black boy and the red-haired white girl); Strong Masculinity deferring to overly-emotional Femininity (the female characters taking center stage or being the sane voice of reason; the gruff white cop shown to be incomplete in various facets of his being, etc); gradual inclusion of LGBT messaging (one of the kids, from what I can remember, is definitely going to "come out" in future seasons; the lesbian girl who worked in the milkshake / ice-cream parlor).
