All of the leads are women; this should be applauded. When only one-third of women and girls in movies and TV have speaking parts at all and "speaking part" is a very low bar, women-led series need to be recognized. The protagonist, while no perfect feminist icon, is keenly aware of both misogyny and the ways in which she perpetuates it. She's beautifully self-aware and actively struggles to be better to herself and others: as she says, "I am trying to be better, but what if I actually don't have better in me?" In both TV and the real world, we need more honesty, nuance, and willingness like that. Oh, and did I mention it's well-written, entertaining, and funny?
