Women shine, Men need to be re-cast.
28 November 2016
All the women in the show shine, but every male character needs to be re-cast. At first I wondered if that was part of the show's shtick, but after 10 episodes, I'm convinced the casting directors were diligent to cast the women, and then didn't care who filled the male roles. I feel like the male characters are first-timers "acting" in a poorly written high school play, while the women were cast for a successful TV show. Fix the problem with the poor male actors (Doug's OK), and then you'll have a hit! The males are bringing down the quality of what could be a stellar show. It's hard not to compare the show to Mad Men, but that show was clearly about the men - but it also had a stellar female cast. I'm looking forward to future seasons - there is a lot of material and history to cover, and if done well, could be a 10-star show.
