Please can someone tell me of a really good series that has a strong female lead?

[Lighthousekeeping]

And not some self absorbed whining woman. I'm looking at you Carrie Bradshaw and you Hannah from Girls and, especially you bloody Meredith Grey.

Spiral?

Damages

Borgen?

The Killing.

Watch it.

First series of Homeland.

The Killing (Danish original or US remake).

Buffy the vampire slayer!

Spiral.

Watching it now. Fucking fantastic.

Friend really liked Nurse Jackie

Scott and Bailey.

The Bridge, Borgen, The Killing, Six Feet Under

Getting On.

The Closer & now the spin off Major Crimes (but I've only seen 1 episode of that so far - looked promising though!).

Prime Suspect

Oh, I'm liking this list. Loved Damages and am still waiting for the last Season. When is that coming?

Homeland was great.

Haven't seen any of the others yet.

P.S. I couldn't even make it through the pilot of Greys thanks to Meredith Grey's simpering, lisping, needy, whiney, man-obsessed idiocy.

How is that show a thing??

Eurgh.

Seconding packedlunch with Getting On.

Best UK comedy of recent years. Bloody ace.

The Good Wife is excellent.

I was going to suggest Homeland but you have seen it.

I'm on the finale of season three of Greys and really can't take anymore.

I loved The Sopranos do will investigate Nurse Jackie.

Another for The Good Wife

second buffy - she absolutely kicks arse!

the x files.
yes to homeland
and the killing (danish one)

and the excellent Fringe. olivia rocks.

Nurse Jackie is fantastic. As a Sopranos addict I didn't think I'd like Edie Falco in anything else. I was wrong. She's amazing.

A confusing and conflicting lead character. Thought provoking and heartbreaking.

Oh I must see if I can get in on Net Flix. She's an amazing actress.

Six Feet Under - Brenda, Clare and Ruth all complicated and fascinating characters.

Also loved Nurse Jackie.

Kima a strong female character in The Wire also.

Gosh yes vicar Scully in the X Files was amazing.
