List of tv series with strong female characters
(Or at least well-made female characters; like, with a personality.)
I think this list will be useful to me for those moments in which pessimism covers me like a blanket made of thorns. Or just for everytime I'd like to watch or enjoy something in which my sex is portrayed as respectable and plausible. You know.
It's more a matter of fandoms that a reliable list of feminist (feminism = believing in/wanting parity of rights between men and women) things to watch/read/whatever.
In this list I will put only tv shows that haven't a misogynist basis. Even if they're really good or if there are female characters strong enough. So, no Sherlock BBC, sorry.
Well, let's begin.
Tv shows:
• In The Flesh
• Vikings
• Marvel: Agent Carter
• Gotham
• Elementary
• How To Get Away With Murder
• Gilmore Girls
• Teen Wolf (?) from season 3
• Les Revenants
• Shameless
• Orange is the new black
• Orphan Black
Manga/Anime:
• Fullmetal Alchemist
• Hana-Kimi
• Letter Bee
• Ouran High School Host Club
Films (so many, so many, but for now I will put here only some of them):
• Fried Green Tomatoes
• Maleficent
Books (same here):
• Hunger Games
Some misogynist tv shows (or others) that I personally like but that have serious problems:
• Sherlock BBC
• The Big Bang Theory (SERIOUS PROBLEMS HERE)
• How I Met Your Mother (same)
• Naruto
• Supernatural
• Games of Thrones / ASOIAF
• The Lord of the Rings (books)
• so many so many
