Great prompt @Ashley. I like writers who create relatable characters. This is why I'm such a fan of theater because I think female playwrights portray reality. I feel sometimes in television, writers are more abstract or unrealistic and trying to pander. Especially when it comes to writing female characters. That's 1 of the reasons why I love THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL The struggles of a female comic set in the sexist1960s made her an utterly relatable character even though its 50 years later. This is why we need more female writers in the writers room because only women can really write women.
