Not much context behind this question tbh.

Me and my friends were just talking about this and NOW I’m sorta curious to know what other people think.

Also, featuring this cool fanart that I found!!

    I probably would have watched it if the show was made like that originally, since I have no qualms with female-led shows, but if it came out now - post end of the show, it’d just feel like a low-effort genderbend to me.

    If it was presented just like this (“Supernatural, but the MCs are women!”), I’d probably feel similarly to it as the Ghostbusters movie where they did the same. Ie, it sounds like a corporate attempt to make progressive dollars with what sounds like a lazy pandering rehash.

    If you mean more as a concept, I think it could work. I mean, I think Buffy was pretty popular for a while.

    I would but not sure it would do as well. When it first started fantasy/scifi/horror was not as popular in general and moreso with males than females. I feel the idea was the show premise would get males and the pretty boys would draw in females.

    what if women

    but okay now what show is like this. asking for a friend. Set It Off 1996 is cool like this. Freaks of Science 1985 is cool like this but not all women- though a diverse cast. Generation X 1996 is also cool like this however not all women- again a diverse cast.
