There are various themes which the show includes,

Polysemic - Multiple or many meanings.
Allegory - Metaphor for something else, usually making a broader comment on society.
Zeitgeist - Mood of the era.
Humans reflect the present in zeitgeist.
Using allegory and zeitgeist, media producers can encode a range of ideological perspectives that may not be apparent to all audiences. Iconography may represent and capture the sociohistorical zeitgeist of the era that it was released it.
Example- Godzilla 1950 Film Poster
- A huge monster destroys the city.
- Allegory - using zeitgeist, USA dropped an atomic bomb onto Japan in WW2. Anti-war.
Sci-Fi reflects the fear which exists in society.
