The Zemblanity!
You ever have that moment where you're tracking a television show in the wild, and then you spot a line, walk over, rub your fingers over it, then lift your fingers to your nose, sniff, and say "Men. This was written by men."
The Zemblanity!
This moment brought to you by JACK RYAN, where two women failing the Bechdel test refer to the main character as "kind of a beta male, at best."

except for that moment the show has been pretty decent but
The Zemblanity!
all three of their encounters to date have involved some kind of power play on his part, so there is not the REMOTEST chance that the fact that he is reasonably quiet-spoken could be interpreted by "beta at best," if I conceded that women generally rank men like that among themselves.
