The casting was so queer! And the costumes and stage direction backed it the fuck up and it was awesome. Making it queer definitely lessened the "oh wow gosh this is EXTREMELY misogynistic" aspect of the show, which was nice, that was nice.
Of course it is impossible to take all the misogyny out ("I am so sad about my wife being dead, she was just SO CHASTE" okay, buddy) but they had a good try at it and mitigated a great deal! A+ for that.
