Indigenous perspectives are woven into the plot via elements like yagé () rituals, which facilitate visions revealing hidden truths about environmental crimes and historical injustices. The show highlights conflicts between indigenous autonomy and state intervention, portraying non-indigenous law enforcement navigating cultural barriers while confronting their own outsider status. However, scholarly analysis critiques the series for subordinating indigenous epistemologies to Occidental narrative conventions, such as linear plots and mystical , which may project external imaginaries onto native worldviews rather than fully centering decolonial representations. Despite this, the inclusion of indigenous languages in voiceovers and dialogues aims to authenticate cultural elements, praising the jungle as an eternal maternal force in line with animistic beliefs. The depiction extends to gender dynamics, with female indigenous characters driving resistance against both patriarchal and ecological harm, though some views note a reliance on tropes of the "mystical native."

The Ya'arikawa, a fictional multi-ethnic indigenous group, embodies this harmony, using mystical practices to navigate threats, though portrayed with some narrative repetition in dialogue emphasizing spiritual interconnectedness. Historical elements intersect with the via fictionalized accounts of Nazi infiltration into remote communities post-World War II, reflecting documented instances of Axis fugitives fleeing to after 1945.

Early installments, in particular, emphasize atmospheric immersion in the Amazonian setting over rapid plot progression, leading descriptions of the narrative as moving at a "snail's pace" and requiring multiple attempts to engage for some spectators.

Certain plot twists and the open-ended finale have divided opinions, with some users decrying loose ends despite appreciating the thematic ambition.
