Hellcats and Haven Thoughts

Hellcats 1x01 ‘A World Full of Strangers’

This episode had some issues, and I think the show has huge potential to hit my embarrassment squick though this episode didn’t as much as I feared, but despite that and the bad press I’ve read I thought it wasn’t bad at all. While I didn’t love it I did like it enough that I’m going to keep watching. In large part because it’s a show about women and their relationships with each other and I love that. There are guys of course – Dan (Marti’s blond townie friend), Lewis (hot, black cheerleader), Derrick (coach Sharon’s boyfriend), Red (new football coach) – but really, it’s all about the girls and that's exactly what I want.
