worth staying after finishing season 1, when..


I`m getting increasingly tired of all the male bashing - female superior sub theme
in this show?

On his way down past each floor,
he kept saying to reassure himself

Can you give some examples?

"female superior sub theme", you kidding, OP? We seen the lead character of the show in a scenario where she was raped. The character of Nina is constantly taken advantage of and resorts to doing sexual favors to have her way. It's not really some pro-feminist show, not in the least sense. It's a story about a married couple more than anything, there's no subliminal messages here.
