...it sure makes women look unnecessarily hollow. The situations occurring between the two leads are interesting, good I might say. The crime angle is solid. So is the cynical humour. But it doesn't matter how fleshed out and interesting the protagonists are. Not if everything is undermined by condoning the unacceptable behaviour of their significant others while being overly criticizing of their own. I know nowadays making decent female characters is off putting for some viewers. But tipping the scales in the other direction to not ruffle feathers, especially if it doesn't help the plot is arguably worse. As a guy I really don't need my ego stroked. What I do need however is not having my intelligence insulted with scenes where characters ridicule the hate the other woman routine in one second while playing the very same routine the next.
Interesting story supported by good acting but driven down by wearisome subtext probably meant to appease the man's man. But I guess that last part actually worked due to the ludicrous rating this show has.
