It can be a triggering show but Law and Order: SVU does a great job of not having the lead character Olivia Benson center her life around men. Her relationships if any are usually secondary to her son and her career. It’s been my favorite since I was a teen and Olivia is a great role model (badass, complex, empathic, multifaceted, inspirational). Although now they are doing more episodes of her and Stabler back together, but I like that the show never really had any kind of affair happen between them when they were married to other people. She never was a pickme trying to cross boundaries with him (at least as far as I can tell).

I also got to see the actress Mariska Hargitay live in person at an event and she’s amaaaazing!!

Just watch Grey’s Anatomy and do the exact opposite of everything Meredith does. Seriously though when I was younger I watched that show and thought wow what a love! Now I’m just embarrassed for her.

I’m really digging Ted Lasso rn. It’s wholesome and funny. Plenty of HV characters. I was super sceptical when I first heard of it, another story of a woman scorned 🙄 I gave it a shot and it’s actually great!

Ted is a wonderful character, always makes the best of a shitty situation. The lead female character (Rebecca) is a badass and just goals. Her character development is incredible. I love her! Development in all the characters in the show is great in general. Lots of introspection and levelling up!

If you’re not into sports, don’t let the sport theme turn you off, there’s a lot else going on.

I liked Hacks recently (HBO). Watched it in a single day and it made me laugh, cry, and laugh and cry at the same time.

I really liked “The Great” on Hulu. It’s a not very historically accurate telling of Catherine the Great’s (of Russia) coup against her husband to take the throne. The first season shows her evolving into a badass

Really love Tuca and Bertie! Highly recommend it if you like animation that actually focuses on fleshed out female characters for once!

Edit:

If you like *adult animation. Honestly I’m pretty happy about the current state of children’s animation. You have no idea how much it would of meant to child me to have female protagonists in animation growing up. I’m so happy my nieces have the opportunity to grow up with better representation in media!

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries!

Start watching new Korean dramas. Crash landing on you is a good entry k drama to start with.

If you like animation, definitely check out Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

My guilty pleasure is watching police serials though I generally hate cops. My favorite us Bosch, though it wouldn't be FDS except the female characters are well-rounded and not pickmes. His ex-wife, daughter and even his mother who had been a sex worker are all aadmirable.

Amy Aquino rocked the hell out of her role as Lt. Grace Billets. Warm, tough and well-respected, but came up against some incredibly toxic sexism in the precinct. What I like about her most is she's damn funny. It's rare to see an older middle-aged woman whose tough and funny. It's usually the guys who get to yuck it up. And she's not a pickme, but bi and dating a woman.

Studio Ghibli films typically have very wonderful female protagonists.

Conturas · 2021-08-27T08:38:24+00:00

Sweet Magnolias (Netflix)

Resident-Equipment95 · 2021-08-27T08:13:21+00:00

Not a show and I don’t like ScarJo, but the new Black Widow movie was refreshing

londochig · 2021-08-27T02:52:30+00:00

Cable Girls.

LilyPadBleu · 2021-08-27T08:08:29+00:00

If you have Netflix, Singaporean and Malaysian dramas often feature strong, independent women. Some of my favorites are "The Liar", "Unriddle", "Breakout", and "Persona".

I’ve been watching the SWAT remake and I find that very good in the way it deals with many issues like racism and it focuses a lot on misogyny in an elite part of the police. They have 3 great female badass characters, all badass in different ways. A young bisexual SWAT officer working in a male environment. A beautiful captain taking on the politics of being in charge of men. An older battle ready woman who initially is received as hostile and a bad cop but develops into actually being someone who’s incredibly tough and does the difficult stuff that doesn’t win her friends but she’s doing them for all the right reasons. There’s also a huge bonus of a few very attractive potentially HVM. I find that in most art it tends to focus on human flaws and growth so it’s hard to find truly HVW/M in tv and movies. So what I look for is characters that are shown to be striving to level up despite everything being against them.

Killing Eve. All of the women in the cast are amazing and Sandra Oh is particularly great.

LiAndLenus3rdfriend · 2021-08-27T19:32:07+00:00

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is a good one. Set in the 1920s, the main character is a badass woman who decides to become a private detective.
