Steampunk'd (2015)
Should try to better showcase female talent

How wonderful to see Steampunk get to a larger audience (I just hope the aesthetic doesn't get commercialized!). The contestants all had talent and dedication to Steampunk. The show is undermined by two factors: (1) it's gender-skewed with men doing most of the heavy lifting in terms of carpentry, metal work & the like & the women consigned mostly to "costumes"; and (2) the bickering which undermined the joy I generally see amongst steampunkers and which seemed at times to be a bit staged. I challenge Ms. Mai and the show's producers to even out the female/male divide in some way and to recognize that the drama of creativity can be exciting without sandbox antics.
