Interesting wrinkles to it. I don't know if I would call it feminist but it gives equal time to womens' experiences and all the villains are men trying to recreate patriarchal structures
I also think the female actors detected this and fleshed out these threads more than the scripts showed maybe?

- Roger Monk talking about the actors anxiously reading each new script of Survivors to see if they still had a job next week.
