I’d say Westworld and Stranger Things comes to mind because I remember reading in season three the original plan was for that man and woman at the ice cream place to get together but they decided to make her gay for no reason. In a show that’s an homage to the 80s a reformed jock with a nerdy girl is a perfect couple.

I'd say The Walking Dead. At the beginning it was mostly apolitical and there was little gender politics. The more it went on the more women outnumbered men and were leading more survivor camps and dominated the men
Edit- The Mandalorian is a good example as well. What started as a lone wanderer becoming a father, became a female reclaiming the throne.
I gave it up when they kept running into niggers not only surviving, but leading the poor white people to safetly. That's more unbelievable than the fact they were still finding edible food in stores and vehicles with gasoline in them years later
Season 1 was the best season, but I still rolled my eyes at that part where the women are complaining about "why even after the world ends the women still have to do all the work" and how they "miss their vibrators", and then they get interrupted by a stereotypical misogynistic abusive husband. I also couldn't stand Michonne's character when they introduced her.
spoiler alert Interestingly, Rick had a major romance with Andrea in the comics; but in the tv show, the writers killed off Andrea early and then changed Rick's romance to be an interracial one.
Interracial relationships are a big theme in 'The Walking Dead', that's because the show targeted a certain demographic that was ripe for indoctrination.
At one point, I think The Walking Dead was famous for having literally no relationships that were not either gay or interracial.
The showrunner said that would be a priority. Crazy thing is that in a post apocalyptic world with a reduced population an interracial couple here or there wouldn’t draw notice but he messed that up due to being on with the message
I read the comics and decided to stop watching the show and spinoff once the comics ended. If you have time check them out
I read them for a bit. I think I tried to catch up before the show came on. So it was awhile ago
I read the comics up to a point when I said "Hey, this has gone to shit."
By sheer coincidence? The TV show went to shit at roughly the same time. There were enough differences, but those story arcs ended it for me.
I don't know about that one. Andrea was Insufferable from the first moment she was on screen. Rick should have killed her the first time she girlbossed to him.
I know there's the stuff with her sister and her pulling the gun on Rick. I don't know how much of that you want to call girl boss. I don't remember much else she did in season 1. So maybe she was more girl bossy than I recall. In season 2 she asks Rick for shooting lessons, and Shane gives her shooting lessons. Her asking for help is not girl boss behavior.
