First, it's an alternate reality and secondly, it involves witchcraft and magic which means there are no bounds to what can happen. In a way, it's brilliant because plot holes don't exist in this scenario.
I watched it and then came here to read the reviews and some of them I agree with but the ones saying that it's anti-men indicate to me that some people didn't watch it or only partially watched it. The show doesn't portray men as evil or bad. It doesn't portray men at all and speaking as a male, it doesn't insult me.
There are two types of witches at war. Our heroes who are conscripted into the American military and the "Spree" who seem to be some kind of radical terrorists.
The only reason it lost points with me is the unabashed nationalistic jingoism. I just about fell off my chair when I saw the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware but it was now a boatload of witches. I'm still laughing as I'm writing this.
Edit: I do have to add I would have loved to hear the pitch. I can see myself saying, "Let me get this straight, there's a fort where they train teenage females to yell and scream as their primary weapon? Thought they used to call that high school?"
Overall, it's entertaining and fun escapism. Give it a watch.
