Is absolutely fabulous the best feminist TV show?

The main characters all women, it certainly passes the bechdel test.

Is comedy more feminist than other genres? we have many strong female characters and shows.

I loved AbFab back in the day, but I wonder about it now - you could argue that it is a mockery of unconventional lifestyles, of uppity women who think they can have it all. If you look at it that way Saffy is the voice of the establishment.
