Women's depiction


I like this show. I think it's great, although I kind of enjoyed "Boardwalk Empire" more (just mentioning it because it has the same team, more or less). But my problem is that it's a sexist show like everything Scorsese does.

The depiction of women in each Martin Scorsese movie or TV show is lame. They are all at the service of the men: to have sex with them, to be the wife that takes care of the children, to be the secretary who is easy to take to bed, etc.

I don't think this show has strong and deep female characters and it's a great weakness in my opinion. The only female character that stands out from the rest is Andrea Zito (played by Annie Parisse), she is the only one whose career doesn't seem to be in the hands of the men who run the music business.

I was going to watch this solely for Olivia Wilde (Devon Finestra), but based on your description, it seems it is not even worth that.
