If you haven’t yet discovered it, check out The 100 (available on Netflix).
There are so many female leaders and principals! Clarke, her mother, Raven, Octavia, the three grounder leaders…
And in one episode, not only does Clarke do something really difficult and really important with Finn, the camera ends with a close-up of her, not Finn. How often does that happen? (Men always get the last shot, the last word! Their reaction is always the most important, the definitive one!)
And that wasn’t an anomaly. Close-ups often end on Clarke’s mother and Raven instead of the other guy and Bellamy.
(Also enjoying Madam Secretary at the moment!)
(And hating what’s happening on Code Black now that Rob Lowe’s been added to the cast. Don’t know whether to blame the actor, the writers, or the directors, but my god is he taking over. As white men do. Sigh.)
