I gave up on SV (the show) when the only female character I saw after several episodes was a hot assistant. I don’t care what her character arc turned out to be, that’s a bad look. Hopefully, a show based on a female former insider’s experience will offer something beyond that.
- Terretta 7y agoDo you mean the VC director working for the VC managing partner, who is female as well?
- Galaxeblaffer 7y agoWhy is it a bad look ? If you'd actually watch the show they have many female characters that are not hot assistants and they even touch on the subject directly later on. It's kind of hard for me to fathom how that particular aspect can make someone give up on a satire TV-show
- blfr 7y agoI remember someone noticing that their Techcrunch Disrupt crowd was very white but they were using real footage. Although the best commentary probably comes late in the series, and very briefly so it's easy to miss, when a sociopathic (white, male) COO comes to Pied Piper offices and right off the bat comments that the gender balance is quite nice but could use a little colour.
- sjg007 7y agoShe does evolve and there also a female VC. There’s some stereotyping though. Later episodes have other female character arcs but the are only in scope around the main characters.
