Prestige TV Hates Women. And So Does Its Audience.
The lack of female leads and contempt for the women we do have in the prestige TV drama landscape leaves me wanting better from the genre. O
Reverie
The “babygirlification” or “teenage-girlification” of characters such as Kendall and Roman Roy, Tom Wambsgans, Tony Soprano, Christopher Moltisanti, Don Draper, Pete Campbell, and Jesse Pinkman, while funny, is also a signifier of the genre’s woman problem. I understand that much of this trend is rooted in irony and I too as a 21 year old woman often say “He’s just like me” when referring to the aforementioned characters. But language trends are often revealing and given the lack of leading women in this genre, I think it reveals a lot. I find it ironic that people are more than ready to use “female language” for these characters when highlighting how sympathetic they are, but don’t lend that same sympathy toward their actual female counterparts. There’s clearly an understanding that being those things— a teenage girl, a babygirl, a girl in general— is hard and can cause a lot of pain, but somehow this understanding doesn’t translate onto the women on screen who actually go through this. [...] A woman is supposed to be impossibly good. She is meant to be your doting daughter, your loving wife, and your nurturing mother. When she falls out of line from any one of these things, she’s a bitch. A man could kill someone (this could be referring to a plethora of our beloved prestige TV male protagonists) and he’d still receive sympathy from viewers. For some reason (the reason is quite obvious) when women are morally grey, subtlety is completely lost.

okay but Rashid revealing himself to be Armand and Louis calling him "the love of his life" with that forced look on his face felt like watching a horror movie where it's revealed the protagonist never truly escaped the monster and they're still trapped

Hannibal is independently wealthy and deeply invested in fucking with people who are interesting enough. Show up with a good story about how you are trying very hard to not give in to the urge to make tiny statues out of people's teeth and he'll see you for free.
