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 😁

There's lots of women characters I really like when I'm watching a series but they aren't all long-term memorable. Some that are include

Ruth in spooks
Scott&Bailey
Donna in Halt and Catch Fire

Catherine and Clare - Happy Valley

Bailey - Grey's Anatomy

Aunt Poll - Peaky Blinders

DCI Tennyson - Prime Suspect

I am sure that there are loads more! Great Idea for a thread!
