What are some decent feminist friendly tv shows?

Like Parks and Recreation, that you'd recommend? You know, has more than one female character, the women are doing stuff, not just mooning over men, oh, or like Buffy!

That's what I'm after mumsnet feminists, hit me with it!

Aside from the Dr the women characters are good. (Probably thanks to Steven Moffat!)

It's far from perfect but I love Six Feet Under, lots of conversations that don't just revolve around men and I think Brenda is a great character.

I would love for Dr Who to have a female doctor then that could be one...sadly I don't think it will ever happen :(

Anything that Steven Moffat writes

Orange is the New Black (on Netflix)

I can't think of anything like Parks and Rec but how about The L Word?

I've just started watching and it's great! 10 episodes in 2 days great!

I do watch things that aren't Sci-Fi or Fantasy, but they tend to have fewer female characters, and those they have are more susceptible to stereotype.

Stargate Atlantis

Defiance.

I was thinking Greys Anatomy as the female doctors are all pretty ballsy but sadly some of them still moon over men a fair bit.

Something with Clare Balding on? Brilliant presenter at the top of her game.

ThreeBeeOneGee · 28/12/2013 16:59

Firefly

Nashville is pretty much all strong female characters. If you like country music.

I would have said CJ in West Wing, and there are other strong female characters too.

Big Bang Theory has a few feisty female scientists although Amy is a bit man-desperate but Lesley comes up top trumps over Sheldon. Leonard has a good attitude but Howard and Raj are living in the dark ages as far as women are concerned. Maybe not so good after all!
