I'd say so yes, the main characters are immortal beings who have seen the world rise and fall many a times. and in a clip we were shown of season 2 a main character debates "the point of it all "

Harry is a cynic who argues that human nature is evil and can't be improved. A character Bella meets in Paris is a socialist and argues the opposite, that humanity should always strive for improvement. Since Bella is basically a "blank slate" the whole movie is about her being shaped and trying to understand herself and the world.

the overall premise of the show ponders what it means to truly be "you", and the different versions of ourselves we portray in different environments. the topic is regularly discussed in-universe as well.

Yes, constantly. It's a central theme. The main characters have lengthy discussions about it and allude to it throughout the show.

Big part of the movie is about afterlife and what might be the 'one true religion'.

Lots of stuff about who runs the world and who has control and things like that. Makes you feel insignificant, quite anxiety inducing

The ethics of the treatment of AI is a major theme. It becomes increasingly clear that the characters are actually AI programs that have some level of sentience, and the villain is having a major existential crisis where she believes none of the other characters, nor the world they live in, are real. This is discussed most extensively in Act 3, where she literally talks to the player and talks extensively about the nature of reality.

A woman throughout season 2 repeatedly references an idea that we have no control over our own destinies, and that our deaths are predetermined.

The survivors wonder many times what the point is of their survival versus the deaths of others. Much debate about the existence of God as well.
