At the close of season 6, Game of Thrones was applauded for its major shift in focus from its male characters to the female ones. Finally, the women of Westeros and beyond were given the screen time and attention they deserved. And, if you take a look at the ratings, it worked out wonderfully for HBO.Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for The Night Of. A thrilling crime masterpiece, the show does have one recurring issue that's been called out by viewers and critics — the lack of developed female characters. The few women we have met in the series have fallen into severely overwritten and type-cast female roles.This could be tied to the fact that the show is written by two (talented) men. They have created a brilliant world of social and judicial injustice, but have (accidentally?) left the women by the wayside along the way. Here are the five main female characters, and the outmoded archetypes they fulfill on the show.
