Not sure if we can consider it non-political but Firefly/Serenity is all about not bowing down to government and that the government will use propaganda and force to keep control. Simon is the one character that is being overlooked, he gave up everything to save his sister from the government but still thinks the rebels as uncultured savages and his arc is learning to appreciate freedom.
There was always an amusing irony with how popular the show was with millennials, and yet many of those same millennials would probably recoil at any suggestion that anyone who served under the Confederates in the civil war could be anything less than pure evil.
The whole holy war against slavery thing came back into the mainstream. It's so silly how a war between two slave holding republics is about ending slavery. It is really sad if you give any deference to the South at all, you get accused of being a "Lost Causer" and are villified
