Good series/films with strong female partnerships ?

I'm looking for something like Thelma & Louise or Frauds or (that American one with the swimming pool & dead husband where she moved into the pool house which was very good). I have access to Netflix & Prime. Preferably a pair / group of women being resourceful but solo ok too. Any recommendations?

Grace and Frankie
It's on Netflix, I think. Stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.

Cagney and Lacey is on Prime. A bit uneven at the start but once the classic Tyne Daley/ Sharon Gless partnership in place (Series 2), it’s brilliant!

Good Girls should be on Netflix.
strong female friendships

Thank you. Keep 'em coming. Looking for something to watch with Dd, 18, who needs to know women can do anything they want.

No offence with Joanna Scanlan. Should be on C4. I don’t know how it took me so long to watch it.
There’s an Aussie series called Bad Mothers which is good. Not sure where it streams, sure I watched it on Prime a few years ago.
On STV Player (which is free) there’s a Scandinavian series called Black Widows if you don’t mind subtitles.
