I've gotten pretty into the show, I like the premise a lot. But I do find myself irritated enough about one aspect to write this post.

It is full of women leaders, and the men leaders are always fucking up while there's always a women he should have listened to. This one real basic dumb blonde bitch "Clark" (note the androgynous name) is made out to be like the John Conner of leaders. The female emotional and sentimental reasoning for decision-making gets rewarded. The one woman who is a hot, feminine, smart, sexy Latina who happens to be an engineering/mechanical genius finds herself crippled. That's subliminal messaging too I'd say.

While there are a few alphas, there is no lack of whit-knighting and the males always sacrificing themselves for the females. There's even a scene where a guy dies falling off a cliff while repelling to save a girl dangling from the cliff. There's no mourning or sense of loss whatsoever, the guys just try the same damned thing again but the second time just barely being successful. The male characters are completely dispensable, and some of the group dynamics would only make sense or be slightly believable to mind of a high-schooler (probably the show's target audience as the main characters are high-school age).

Anyways still a good show, I will keep watching it, but I do note a lot of blue pill and/or feminist underpinning.

It's CW which is pandering to a target demographic. I'm somewhat interested in watching it but I got stuff to do and other shows I'd rather watch. The Preacher and Into the Badlands on AMC look a lot more promising if you're into the apocalyptic type shows. I also heard this show has all the women dyking out with each other also which is another negative. No healthy relationships unless its LGBTQSDA2SQWA+

I saw I few episodes of this around a year and a half ago. Agree with everything you said. Lots of annoying aspects but the overall premise makes it an interesting show to watch sometimes.

I've always liked shows that have some sort of aspect where a group of people has to figure out a way to survive together or build their own society together. This show does that in an interesting way so it can be entertaining (or at least in the season 1 episodes I saw). Problem is the blue pill/feminist stuff that gets mixed in sometimes like you noted, as well as just some really annoying/dumb characters. Worth checking out though

The problem with the show is that adults end up following the lead of children. And there are a ton of warrior princess types with almost no flaws. One of the main characters later on is in Fear the Walking Dead too.
