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 😁

Yes. Impossible not to love her.

Isa from Still Game

Miranda Bailey - Grey’s

Just a sherry at Christmas…..

Margot from The Good Life!

Blanche from The Golden Girls. All of them really.

Oh and also - Lisa Simpson. Absolutely love Lisa

Dorothea Frizell in Endeavour.. Editor of The Oxford Mail. Loved her character..
