I really love this. Although - and I accept it's likely a caricature- I find it a sad representation of the way many women are ignored, overlooked and challenged over even the most basic things - see "that's an eagle. No it's a large crow" scene with Justine's husband. Until the Postie (male) confirms the female's truth!
It is shining a light on a common dynamic/theme of women being ignored, despite their obvious talent, kindness and loyalty.
I would like more to be made of Orian's mum Yasmin's story, and the dodgy situ with her cousin.
The script is a bit off re Orian's patenting. They ideal about him as if he's 3 "The lemon jelly monster. He's finally asleep. I can get myself to sleep mum" he's like 12/13!!
I like Ann's child being gender fluid. I also like Eli's family, but not so much the way she's portrayed as such an obvious victim. A bit more subtlety would be better here. Like if she had a job but was trying to branch out.
I also like that women mess up and argue.
