This probably has a lot to do with how male characters are written \u2013 emotions, what are those? \u2013 and of course, also with the fact that, as a woman, it\u2019s easier to see myself in the experiences of another woman.<\/p>\n<p>The exact opposite happened to me with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carnival_Row\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Carnival Row<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, part of that might have been that the first time I actually felt Vignette was somewhere around episode seven. Before that, her storyline, while not a total bore, just wasn\u2019t hitting any emotional chord with me. And well, despite how much I ended up liking Imogen, it\u2019s fair to say that, for at least half the season, it was impossible to actively like her.<\/p>\n<p>There was Tourmaline, of course, but she was treated a bit like a love interest, even if her relationship with Vignette was never the main focus of <em>Carnival Row<\/em>; she barely got any storyline on her own.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, these are the justifications I gave myself.
