	Although it certainly featured some stereotyped female characters ([[Amber Hargrove]], the scheming divorcée out to trap another woman's man, for example), there were some good female-female relationships.

			<blockquote>We took a beating in the ratings, but then they started to go, and we accelerated the action, and I really wanted her to be fully evil in the second season. ... After the first five episodes there was a shift, and we started to get more spooky, and we were taking it away from the soap-opera aspect. It was getting discombobulated with all the characters. It was ''The O.C.'' meets ''[[The Omen]]'', but I didn't know [that] the beach and girls in the bikinis had much to do with anything. ... At first we got lambasted by some of the reviews, and somewhat deservingly. We got off to the wrong start. But when it started getting good, the critics were still being snarky about it and didn't give it another chance.
