Freddie Lounds, Alana Bloom, and Abigail Hobbs have spoken to each other about something other than a man.

I love this show, it's incredibly well done. The women shown are diverse in personality, age, demeanor, status, etc. And the murders of women are not sexualized, either.

I completely agree! Any violence against women is not sexualised and each woman has a really interesting storyline and is three dimensional, also its representation of poc was great! Of course, there'll always be room for improvement. For example, the show could not be about exploring the relationship between two white cisgendered men, but I didn't mind this at all, since the point of the show is to explore the story of Red Dragon, the original novel, authentically, which it really did.

I agree that the female characters are all 3D and diverse from each other. But what conversation have they had that isn’t about a man?
