Richard can never be a "failure";) So *yay* for pretty gifs.
Awesome women... let me think. I like awesome female characters as well but have to admit that I'm more drawn to men;)
Do you know "The # 1 Ladie's Detective Agency"? It's old but I love the characters and the female main character. It has only 6 episodes + a pilot but is based on a book series with much more adventures.
I haven't watched it yet but my f-list goes bonkers over "Agent Carter" - there we have a female heroine as well.
One of my feel good series is "Call the Midwife" - an all female cast.
Of course "Miranda" <3 - although you know this one already. It's the one series that is able to always cheer me up when I'm down
( ... )
If you didn't like Call the Midwife you probably won't like Anzac Girls or The Crimson Fields. Both have kind of the same vibe IMO. But you could try one episode each and then decide.
Miranda is just lovelovelovelovelove! But you have to like her kind of humor which is quite bold. But obviously I do:) And you're lucky because the last two episodes just aired this christmas/New Year. You don't have to wait over a year (almost two) between each seasons.
MMFD is amazing. I had so much fun with the series although I was still cringing from second hand embarassment from time to time. But that's part of the concept.
I mean, Guy is a pretty nasty fellow, but damn if he isn't so fucking sexy.
I HAVE!!!!! I ADORE JOHN THORNTON. I want to just watch it on continuous repeat but feel some pressure to take advantage of my free month of netflix to watch stuff not normally available to me.
Yeah, it's free on Amazon prime and I have watched it twice. I would probably watch it more except that I don't really like the actress who plays the main lead (in fact, I forgot her character's name). But Thornton...mmmmmm...so angsty and misunderstood and cute. I also like his mother.
Yep, I know it's also on Amazon Prime, thank god. I want to watch it like six more times.
I don't know the actress's name. Margaret Hale is the character. I think the actress does a good job with the character. Both John and Margaret are complicate characters, which I appreciate. John's flaws make him more admirable and Margaret's less, because we are conditioned to think the flaws in Margaret are undesirable in women (my two cents). They are both awkward as hell and I actually adore both of them.
Also, Mrs Thornton is a total badass and I wonder where the hell Fanny came from.

I loved The Bletchley Circle, but there aren't enough eps and it's a bit creepy to revisit. Not so "feel good", kwim?
I hated the book #1 Ladies Detective Agency, so no interest there.
I keep seeing stuff about Agent Carter. Problem is, Avengers stuff just doesn't hook me. Like, it's ok, but I walk away uninvested.
I watched one ep of Call the Midwife and ran screaming. Not my cuppa :(
Oooh, I should see if I can find Miranda. It does look awesome.
Hunh, I will have to see Anzac Girls and The Crimson Field, even if they are about war.
MMFD looks amazing. I don't think I really have a good way to watch it.
:( I don't think I can watch OitNB even though everyone raves about it. That's ok. I don't seem to have mainstream tastes, even in fandom.
Thanks!
