( Short post, just a tad spoilery )One of my LJ friends asked if there's any shows with similarly great female characters and dynamics currently on the air. I couldn't think of any. Anyone?
I think there's shows now off the air that come close. FRIENDS actually has pretty well written dynamics between the female characters, and Buffy did in the beginning with Buffy and Willow, but I'm not sure what else even in the past, let alone now. I think TV is almost afraid to write female characters having any non-volatile relationships. Same with movies. (Books do, although I feel like a lot of them go the other extreme, where one of the friends dies in the end. Or you realize all four friends were melodramatic southern belles who traumatized their children for life. I love Ya-Ya-Sisterhood, I really do, but...)
