Isn’t that what all stories are about though?
Every show or movie is a platform for the social commentary of the time. That's what a narrative is. This reminds me of the people who will say that Star Wars is not political.
No... it is. It all is. You can ask the creators, they'll tell you. Sometimes in the context of the modern day it might not seem like social commentary or political commentary because we take a lot for granted but, I assure you, at the time it certainly was, and it certainly still is.
