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.

Fringe is probably one of my favourite programmes ever. I may also be slightly in love with Peter

Prisoners Wives, new series currently 2 episodes in on BBC. Last series was fab too.

Edie Falco was on this weeks Who do you Think You Are? I can't wait to watch it.

Castle
Dollhouse
Blue bloods (strong female characters though main lead is Tom selleck!)

[EggsPressYourself]

Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy - original Swedish films starting with Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Lisbeth Salander is amazing, and the actress who plays her - Noomi Rapace- is brilliant. Not seen the British version with Daniel Craig so can't comment on that, but highly recommend original.

Bones.
Best thing on the box.

[SlatternismyMiddlename]

I absolutely agree with Buffy, Good Wife and Fringe, fabulous shows that I wish I could watch from scratch.

Also, Nikita for kick ass moves. I enjoyed Chuck as well, strong female co star.

I also think Sons of anarchy is amazing.

ER always had consistently strong females even if it was more famous for the male eye candy.

Silk! Martha Costello is my hero!

For some trash- revenge is also pretty good! And Judge John Deed- Jenny Seagrove is really good.

I also really love Getting On and in a similar genre, The Thick of It, although it doesn't have strong women as such!

Revenge

[Tortington]

body of proof

and

rizzoli and isles

Nashville also looks promising.

[onedev]

I'm really enjoying Nashville but not sure I think they're strong women - will reserve judgement on that!

[Wheresmycaffeinedrip]

Buffy
Xfiles
Fringe
House- she's not the main character but cuddy is a very strong female character

Elementary. First series is available on Sky Go.

Loving Lucy Liu in it.

[Thumbwitch]

Watching Elementary right now. It's great - I didn't think I was going to like it [stuffy old gimmer doesn't like classics being mucked about with] but I really do!
