You know how modern female protagonists generally lack meaningful character growth or story arcs? Turns out this is just a reflection of the writers’ own lethargy and stagnation. These people could learn how to write courtroom drama by watching other shows and studying legal texts. That’s what I would do. Instead, they limit the show to “what they already know”: useless activism and millennial snark.
From what I've seen of the show and heard about the writers, it just reeks of "single women in their late 30's writing about the struggles of single women in their late 30's". In other words, extremely vapid and shallow.
It's a shame because the lead actress is actually super talented. See: Orphan Black.
It's representative of the writers' own strugles. Step 1: Hear that comic books/fantasy/sci fi are popular. Step 2: Own a vagina. Step 3: Ask to write. Step 4: Showrunner. Same arc as Flat MCU Superman girl and sassy brown spiderman girl.

Oh shit. It's her!? She was awesome. I didn't make it through the show, but she was excellent
Sounds like a half-assed ally mcbeal. At least they bothered to do the lawyer part.
