Where did this show start to go wrong?

The mysogeny was not prevalent when AB was the show runner. It came into being when Buckner took over and changed all the characters and the direction of the show. He turned Sookie into a plot device to service the arcs of the male characters,particularly Bill Comptom. She was sidelined and Bill Compton was placed at the center of the show. It all became about him and his journey. Sookie was passed around to Warlow ,then to Alcide and back to Bill,eventually ending up with some faceless Mr. Anybody man. In each case she was seen by the male as a prize to be won. she was objectified-- a trophy representative of their male peowess and sexual allure and skills. She lost all of her agency and in so doing she also lost the good will of most of the fans of the show. In poll after poll, after Buckner took over, she was ranked beneath all of the male charters and well bellow Pam and Jessica. There was a whole lot else that showed Buckner's mysogeny including Sarsh Newlin's fate,Pam's treatment,Tata's underwhelming death and pitiful ghost storyline, Jessica's forced marriage to Hoyt by Bill, etc. all of it lies at the door of a man. Brian Buckner and his desire to turn Sookie into Stepford Sookie in her little straw hat and gloves,the good little southern woman clutching onto the arm of her man and finally into pregnant Sookie serving her faceless any man husband and guests their meal with no one helping her least of all him. It as sickening and disgusting all sugary sweet and bespeaking of a Hallmark card ending of HEA that had no place whatsoever in an irreverent over the top black comedic show like True Blood. He turned it inside out and it did indeed become misogynistic as well as some other unsavory things.
