If you see TD from the perspective of crisis of masculinity , the ' beautiful corpses' begin to make sense. Just as the lack of black people in early Mad Men was there to make a point rather than being a flaw. Just as men in Orphan Black are painted one dimensionally in contrast to the very well written women . I'd recommend for you to read this article for a better picture <The betrayal of the American man , Susan Faludi> http://jfk83.home.comcast.net/~jfk83/Faludi-betrayal-of-american-man.pdf
