How To Get Away With Murder And The Geeking Of TV Drama

No one's attacking you for liking the show. Chill. Out.

I've actually been extremely chill about this. I just fail to see what exactly about this show targets the female demographic. You seem to be really defensive about this while not providing examples as to what makes this statement true.

-About a quarter of the cast shown in the trailer is male, and there are no men shown in positions of power.

How do you perceive a position of power? Her second in command has power of her students. Her husband has quite a bit of power of her. Her lover is a cop, so societal power.

-Lots of allusions to soap opera-esque sexual betrayal

Cheating is female related?

-Text that looks like they ripped it off of the cover of a Fifty Shades novel.

Not even sure what that means.

This does not make it a bad show. This does not make it a show exclusively for women. But if you're seriously suggesting that you were even peripherally aware of the show, and were not aware of the fact that the target audience was female, then I find that a difficult assertion to swallow.

I watch the show. I like the show. I see nothing particularly female about it. But I never understood the concept to begin with.[/quote] is extremely chill?

People who parse and edit (and you edited all of the most valid points and neglected to even acknowledge them at all, while continuing to claim that you have "never heard of a female targeted show") are, almost without exception, psychotic.

Now, keep in mind. I'm not saying that YOU are psychotic. I'm just saying.

That is a strange statement. Specifying what detail in a long argument one is objecting to is simply neater...

AS for ignoring the valid points, I asked what makes it female oriented and focused on the things you used to describe female oriented shows. The rest is fluff and pointlessness.

Careful, Bob. You're starting to sound like Yahtzee. I kept wondering why this article wasn't talking about video games.



Also, Escapist, still in the habit of having us seek corporate permission to post, eh? Guess it's just part of the Brave New World we all live in now. Praise Ford. T.
