Just got Netflix and started watching Expanse and Stranger Things, since I've heard so much about them. And they are good, based on a couple of episodes. Even right now I feel the pull to go and watch more. But why, oh why, even those two great, well-written series have this same old set-up which has irritated me from since childhood? Why can't we have Three A Bit Weird Boys and Two A Bit Weird Girls, or Four Weird Girls and One Cute Boy, or some other configuration of genders, weirdness/misfitness and numbers? I would not be so annoyed if it had not been the same in Wonder Woman. Why could not the funny secretary be somehow included in the group? Why arghh why the whole entertainment industry is so in love with this specific grouping?

Of course it may be that the situation in these series may change, I've seen only a couple of episodes after all, but it also may be that for whatever reason we'll never have a popular entertainment piece where four weird chicks team up with a cute dude – beyond Ghostbusters, which otherwise can't be recommended.

I just want to relate to a group of girls, all with their own quirks and who are mutants or cyborgs or misfits or just odd looking, and since I'm not sexist, of course there can be a dude too, but just one, thanks. Otherwise it might be too much, and you know what happens when you have more than one dude: they start their ranking games, and that's insufferable, and would ruin the group dynamic. So just one, and it would not hurt if he was nice to look at. Siiiigh...
