Cast more women

This show has a great cast, but about half way through Episode 2, I noticed I was feeling a little irritated because so many of the characters were male. This isn’t something I usually pay attention to, but when I looked up the cast, it turns out there are 35 total males listed and only 8 women, 2 in bit parts who appear in only one episode. So at best, that’s more than four times as many male characters as females.

That just seems odd and unnatural to me. But maybe that’s a good sign that more women are showing up in other shows and movies now, so when they’re under-represented, it’s noticeable. I’m hoping the show stays eccentric and entertaining enough to make up for that, but if anyone from the show monitors this board, I wish they’d put in a word to the writers and casting directors to get more women characters involved.
