> we have enough shows pandering to our male egos that having one fun show focused on a woman isn’t going to upset my balance

That's disingenuous. I reject this show for the same reason women reject a show that fails the Bechdel test. It's full of caricatures of men that exist only to confirm the protagonist's (i.e. head writer's) view that men are either toxic leering creeps, oblivious privileged mansplainers or idiotic adult children.

Except there were men who weren’t shown as weak or toxic. And there were equally women who were shown as bad in this show as well.

Shockingly the men who played the villains weren’t portrayed as good people. So were the women who were the villains.

You mean a comedy is full of caricatures? Who would have thought?
