Out of curiosity, would you care if a TV show didn't seem to care about male characters? Why or why not?

That was my thought. My wife reads numerous books aimed at a female audience where the opposite is true. I don't think it is problematic for a book or show to focus on a single gender and wonder if that is what the OP thinks. However, this question does point out that almost all shows care about women (OP's word choice) and perhaps that was the point?

yes, I absolutely would. there are some aktivist hashtags like "men are trash" and I abandon/unollow people who use these to gain clout.

that being said: I feel like I've seen so many fun and well-rounded male characters and listened to so many male authors that I'm more excited about female characters and voices etc. - and I like it if characters mess with gender roles or make me/us question the binary.
