A lot of TV execs still seem to work under the idea that women only want to see rom-coms and guys want to see action flicks, so lots of sci-fi/fantasy/action shows and movies have majority male leads, while female-led shows are probably more likely to be real-world based, love-triangle soapy thing


Thhhiiiisss these are good points. People go "oh there's plenty of shows like that" then they'll list old ones (Xena, Buffy) then a bunch of ones that I'm sure are great but I'm not interested in that kind of flick.



and I see you on superwholockhannibalwhateverelse - they're all well known popular shows...that pretty much every character is a man. I don't watch them, but I sure wish I could have some more shows with a female cast in similar genres.

Hannibal, at least...while led by men, has several female characters that seem to get a lot of love from fandom.

Freddie Lounds actually turns out to have some redeeming qualities (I kind of hate her, in the..she's a sleazy journalist sense, but she's been through other things that would make me break down crying like a baby so...)

Alana Bloom is Will's love interest but her presence on the show, while it acknowledges their attraction and there is some kissing, doesn't really center around "Alana is Will's love interest". She's a character in her own right.

Beverly Katz is on the all-male team of folks investigating these murders and she holds her own. There is in fact an episode where she isn't there (jury duty) and it's basically implied she's the one who makes sure Shit Gets Done and they need her back asap. (okay, not really implied, I think Jack yells something to that effect)

Abigail Hobbs...it's her story arc that basically drives much of the first season.

They don't have as many appearances but Dr. Du Maurier (Hannibal's therapist, played by Gillian Anderson) manages to show she can keep up with Hannibal and he obviously respects her which is not something you see out of him regarding many other characters on the show and Bella Crawford (Jack's wife, played by Gina Torres)...just packs a punch whenever she's on the screen. (a metaphorical punch) The first time we see her, she's on screen for like...all of fifteen seconds, and even that is enough to make you go, "holy crap." Or at least it did for me.
