Sexy female Oliver Twist coming

Hopefully this doesn't go past the pilot stage....

Quote:
a contemporary re-imagining with a twenty-something female lead who, in a statement by NBC, “finally finds a true sense of family in a strange group of talented outcasts who use their unique skills to take down wealthy criminals.”
Sounds more like Robin Hood...

What's her name going to be? Olivette? Olivia? Or maybe just "O."

The networks are getting desperate these days.

Ah. Yes.

Let's take a story running on the travesties poor children faced in Victorian London, from orphanages if they were lucky to not slave away in work houses, to being street urchins...and make it about a sexy adult woman, probably in modern times.

She better not say "please sir, I want some more."

They could call her Olivia.

Also I'm surprised there are no reactions of people saying calling out 'feminazis'
but we do have yet to see more so I best hold up.

Oh yay, another "female version" of something already in existence...and uses the word "sexy" as part of the description because that's so new and original...

There would be no reason to have a female protagonist if she wasn't sexy.

That's the sexy part.

Sounds like an Oliver Twist porn parody.
