With a feminist critique of TV, why not.
"Writers think they have given us stereotype- busting female characters,
but actually they wrote a male part and cast a female for the role."
"I looked at my husband and said: 'That character feels like they wrote a
man, and then just changed the name at the last minute.' And indeed, it
turns out that in the graphic novels on which this show is based,
Hogarth is a man."
"I have no problem believing that a rich older lesbian can be cruel to
her wife of many years and interested in a younger woman largely as arm
candy. What I don't believe is that that said lesbian can do this while
being completely unaware of what it feels like to be the older woman
losing her youthful looks as menopause rears its head, or the
23-year-old woman being courted. Yet that's how the Hogarth character is
written."
