It comes with the territory: women in a role typically held by men. The actors just want you to actually watch their series first.

“Probably the only people who are going to stay mad are the people who would write online about an all-female ‘Ghostbusters’ and how Ghostbusters can only be men,” Molly Ephraim, who plays Rockford Peaches center fielder Maybelle, told the Daily News.
