Summed up:

Good writing prioritizes story first and seamlessly weaves a moral or message into the story if needed

Bad writing prioritizes a moral or message first and sloppily constructs a story around that

Supergirl on CW was a prime example of the 2nd point during its later seasons - the writers would prioritize a message and vomit a weak story around it that frequently would disregard how a character would act at best or logic at worst.
