OP!

No, I don't either, but after the latest of GoT and both Marvel and DC shutting down my hopes of a female superhero movie I was just so tired. And the rest of the shows just baffles me, it's like the showrunners live in some kind of parallel universe where women can only be bleak copies of what men are and can accomplish. I still watch most of them, but it's nowhere near the joy I get from watching something like the later, non-sucky episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D or even Buffy, however problematic the Wheldons might be.

Yeah, I do agree with you. The entertainment industry still pretty much operates under the assumption that female and minority characters can't be as dynamic, interesting, or relatable as white male characters, which is bs. And because like 90% of writers and producers are men, female characters are usually sexualized far more than male characters, which helps reinforce the idea that women are sexual objects/valued for their looks. It does get tiring to see these notions being normalized and being reinforced by tv and movies again and again.
I also recommend Orphan Black! One of the amusing commentaries I've read about it is that the male characters in it are written in the way female characters usually are in tv shows. It's kind of fascinating to see the reversal of that dynamic.
