Best female characters in TV?

[Rockfordpeach]

I'm currently rewatching The West Wing for the billionth time and honestly, is there a greater female character in television than CJ Cregg? I just absolutely love her.

Also a huge fan of Moira Rose from Schitts Creek 😁

Beth Dutton in Yellowstone - my mantra is be more Beth!

Kalinda Sharma in the Good Wife. Atia in Rome.

I don't even like Star Trek but I did love Janeway.

But yeah, CJ was pretty brilliant.

Always Beth Dutton.

But also, Cersei Lannister.

Buffy!

DCI Jane Tennison

Carmela Soprano I really disliked her at times but what a great complex character

for over the top flamboyance Alexis Colby

Gillian Anderson in The Fall.

Saga Noren - The Bridge

Gloria from Modern Family

Scully from the x files
Olivia Benson from law&order svu
Yvonne from bad girls

Ruth Langmore from Ozark 🤩😍🤩😍🤩

Beth Harmon from The Queen's Gambit
Rhaenyra from House of the Dragon
Michonne from The Walking Dead
Emily from Criminal Minds
Kirsten from The O.C.

Yes!!

Fleabag
Queenie, Black Adder
Rosa Diaz, Brooklyn 99
Eve Polastri, Killing Eve
Catherine Cawood, Happy Valley
Arabella, I May Destroy You
Dana Scully
Sue White, The Green Wing

Ruth from Spooks, Sarah Lund from The Killing, Laure Berthaud from Engrenages, and Andréa from Call My Agent (and Arlette, too, actually).

Sarah Lund is a brilliant character!

Oh, and also in The West Wing, as well as CJ, I loved Abby Bartlett, Nancy McNally, Mrs Landingham, Joey Lucas and Donna Moss.

Phoebe Waller-Bridger - Fleabag.

I fell for her big time —integrity and excellent knitwear.

Her jumpers! But she was so good, so focused and flawed. Such a great 3D female character.

Nessa in Gavin & Stacey

Siobhan Roy - Succession

Frankie from Grace and Frankie

Catherine Cawood from Happy Valley

I love -

Beth from This Is Us.
Hannah from Girls
Jessa from Girls
