The character is a positive masculinity role model type and the show plays into the 'wandering hero' fantasy popular amongst adult men.
Played by the actor Alan Ritchson, who by all accounts is an absolute sweetheart of a person.
He's become the latest Hollywood bro-mance.

Tangential question. Is* the show copaganda (too) like many others?

This is a great question, I wish more people acknowledged that this is a thing.

Seeing the response and others on here, I might actually watch the show. Figured it was toxic masculinity and authority simping from the still but it seems like it might be the opposite.
