DO YOU HATE THE SHOW? (Or Does It Just Have a Woman Protagonist?)

Love to hate them, hate to love them. Nothing gets people riled up like a supposedly unlikable female character

DO YOU HATE THE SHOW? (Or Does It Just Have a Woman Protagonist?)

After binge-watching, our favorite TV-related pastime is complaining about the characters we binge-watch. We love to pick apart every questionable decision and self-involved navel gaze. The question is: Why do we focus on the so-called bad behavior of women while letting terrible men get away with murder (often literally)?

Take Sex and the City (1998-2004) and Girls (2012-2017), two of HBO's historically most popular shows (now getting a second life thanks to streaming). Both are about a quartet of female friends, including two of the most heavily critiqued main characters in TV history, Carrie Bradshaw and Hannah Horvath, respectively. Carrie and Hannah were eviscerated by audiences and critics alike — and now the actors who played them are asking why.
