The attractiveness of the cast of a TV show sort of underwrites it. If it fails at storytelling, you know some people will watch it just for the attractive actors.
Inference: the show targets whoever might find the most attractive cast member attractive.

This principle used to be much more obvious and explicit in the days of Jiggle TV which ended with Baywatch I think. It operates much more subtly now with prestige TV.

I probably wouldn’t be watching the premium mediocre Marvelous Mrs. Maisel if the lead wasn’t so attractive (not just looks, the personality)
