Xena was the last decent female lead show that I can think of. I can't really think of any more recent shows off the top of my head that people could be ignoring like you say.

[mekkio]

Okay, you have me at decent female lead shows but there are plenty of shows where women are the lead characters. Shows such as Lost Girls, American Horror Story, Once Upon a Time, Scandal, Revenge, Pretty Little Liars and Girls just to name a few.

[comradesmiler]

Not to mention that a lot of modern cartoons are also good at female representation.
(Korra don't count)

[(Anonymous)]

why doesn't Korra count? because of bad female representation or it doesn't count as a modern cartoon for some reason or?

Lost Girls, ugh I love that weird show. How did I forget it? And I know there are others I'm just blanking at the moment.

I am completely unfamiliar with American Horror Story, Scandal, Revenge, and only have a passing idea about Pretty Little Liars and Girls. I am apparently woefully out of the loop.

Rizzoli & Isles! I knew I was forgetting one of my favorites.

American Horror Story has great female characters! So many and so varied, I love it.

Re: ayrt

[hwc]

Scandal is excellent! You should definitely give it a try!

[(Anonymous)]

OUAT in Wonderland too. Well, maybe. Alice is definitely the lead but having Will as a co-leed and having a male/female evil team might disqualify.

[spoilers: with him in stone Alice and RQ might be the main focus for a while too]

[(Anonymous)]

It is cool that for once it's the male love interest that's imprisoned and the female love interest gets to be the one to go on a quest to save them.

[(Anonymous)]

Castle, Sleepy Hollow, and Game of Thrones all have female lead characters. Both Castle and GoT have large fandoms, and Sleepy Hollow is young but popular.

[fridgetothefire]

I loved the lead woman in OUAT so much, but the writing was just so painfully execrable I couldn't keep watching.

[(Anonymous)]

Is Lost Girls any good? I just did a quick google and the main characters being a succubus is a bit... :/ for me. Tentatively eyeing it, could do with a new female lead show to watch

[(Anonymous)]

No one's mentioned Buffy?

[(Anonymous)]

We do not mention this show in fandom spaces for fear for wank, trolls, and other undesirables. As a fan of the show, I warn caution always in bringing up the B.

[(Anonymous)]

I love female-driven shows, but Buffy is just bad.

[meredith44]

Legend of the Seeker might yhave been officially about the male Seeker, but the main attention from fandom for that sow was the female characters, not only Cara and Kahlan, two leads, but also the supporting characters. That show was awesome for representation of female characters.

Defiance has pretty good female characters (it's more of an ensemble show than a show with a lead), as does Warehouse 13, where the leads are pretty much split between guys and girls and one of the main fan ships is femslash.

Of course, two of the three have/had a decent fan following (LotS's fandom really depleted when the show is cancelled), so they don't work so well for the OP's point.

[writerserenyty]

I also love that Kahlan and Cara were able to be just as badass as Richard and Zed, if not more so.

[(Anonymous)]

Buffy? Hm I like Orphan Black and American horror story. ... But then I'm hard pressed to think of a current sci fi with female majority. I don't like the current shows any way so there's that least

Pleased with American horror story. Not my usual cup of tea. Hmmm

Will take recs? I like sci fi but prefer little to no romance. I also like smaller seties if possible


There was a genetic Scifi where the main girl was part cat that I thought was cool when little but it stopped suddenly and idk what it was called

[(Anonymous)]

Are you thinking of Dark Angel?

[(Anonymous)]

Tin Man of bbc production mini-series.
it's great!

[(Anonymous)]

The Bletchley Circle.

Seriously, does nobody watch The Good Wife?

[(Anonymous)]

Good show, great female lead character, plus a ton of awesome female supporting characters and guest characters.

There's also Grey's Anatomy - soapy as all get out, but lead female character and there are a lot of different types of female characters on the show.

And I don't think these have been mentioned either: Haven, Covert Affairs, Necessary Roughness.

Re: Seriously, does nobody watch The Good Wife?

[(Anonymous)]

Adding to your list.....In Plain Sight, Body of Proof, Unforgettable. I'm not sure any of those ever got very large fandoms though.

Re: Seriously, does nobody watch The Good Wife?

[meredith44]

I love The Good Wife (and can't believe I forgot it and Haven), but yeah, nobody watches it, pretty much. The ratings are abysmal, and I think like 2 people on my flist watch it, and I never see it in fandom. Well, rarely. It has amazing female characters, and is written really, really well, so I wish more people did watch it, but I don't expect it.
