[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9490967, member: 5889"] I can understand that argument when in many shows it does feel like people are "shoe-horning women" into shows just to score diversity points. But a show about a coven of witches, I mean its like the original girl power story:) Throwing in more men would be the equivalent "shoe-horn" in my opinion. Overall, I think this is on the higher end of disney+ shows, and if it sticks the landing might actually be the best. In terms of "legitimate" issues with the show: 1) Agatha has started to take a back seat in her own show which has been a notable trend in a lot of marvel stuff lately. This is really starting to feel like the Billy Maximoff origin story more than agatha's show, but we will see how it ends up. But Agatha isn't really doing much on the show tbh, she betrays, she acts crazy periodically and snarky, but other than getting the party started isn't driving any plot or interactions. 2) People really take killing and nearly getting killed in this show in stride. They hear Rio plot their murders and they are simply like "we are watching you". Agatha kills one of the sisters and they just kind of move on from it. Billy almost kills several of them and other than a few choice words later on they pretty much seem cool with him (and he shows very little remorse). That said, Lilia does lampshade this a bit, as she said something about "we're witches" in response to some of that. Is murder and betrayal just part of the witch life? In that case, it's more believable. 3) Considering how dangerous and deadly the road is supposed to be, they take it extremely casually at times. Like almost goofy, especially Agatha who in theory "should know better".
