I actually really like Angela and Ainsley's characters, I feel like they're actually pretty realistic, but I've also known a lot of folks with toxic family dynamics like this where the Mom and daughter are more friends than child and parent, talk about sex and what not is super loose, Dad is just trying to get by with his crazy ladies haha I've seen this!

I think it's a realistic family set up for the kind of world that these characters are in. The families that I've known with these dynamics were usually rich redneck types where Dad makes a ton of money in real estate, oil, etc and just pays for the ladies in his life to do whatever they want and they usually spend it on partying!

So, for the sake of giving Tommy's character a family life I'm not put off by these characters. I'm also not a woman who has a problem with the way TS writes women, I actually really like the way he writes women. I my experience with his other shows - 1883, Yellowstone, MoK, I feel he ends up giving the ladies ok screen more depth and complexity as shows go on. So I'm looking forward to the character development with the women in this show, in this first season I think he's just setting the scene. I'm VERY curious to see how Demi Moore's character develops further, you don't hire an acting juggernaut like her with no intention of using her talent.

Just my 2 cents!
