Upon seeing the first ads for this show I wasn't particularly intrigued, but because of the feminist themes I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. I have so much respect for what the show is doing in terms of showcasing real diversity and giving these women depth that is often unseen in female characters. So many supportive and positive relationships/interactions between women (and even with the men too) here as opposed to the stereotypical cattiness. There's SO much quality representation for women in general, but particularly valuable rep for women of color, Muslim women, and LGBT women. I really like that the drama doesn't center around the love interests, and that the women get to be fully fledged outside of their romantic entanglements; they confront the real life issues of today. It isn't my usual TYPE of show, but I'm 100% hooked!!
