I don't know if you watch Lucifer, but if you want to watch a show where the female characters have an active role in the plot, rather than just having things happen to them, that's one of the best current examples of such a show.

Well that and Wynona Earp, though imo Lucifer is better written.

From Chloe Decker, who is the one pulling Lucifer into her investigations, to Mazikeen, and Linda who aren't just there to call Lucifer out on his crap, but they get things done in their own way.

Even Chloe's daughter Trixie gets her own plots, and isn't there just to be cute, even though she gets a lot of that as well. And that's not even starting on Charlotte and Ella who join the cast in s2.

The fun part is that all these characters have a diverse function, role and personality on the show. None of them are locked in one role that's all they're supposed to be.

In fact, Lucifer is in many ways comparable to the best parts of Buffy. And though Lucifer is clearly the main character, the cast surrounding him is so strong, and is given their own storylines, to the point that you're not stuck in his pov, making the world far better developed than it might be otherwise.
