It's fantastic. No woman is ever sexualized, and it's a show full of spies. Not to mention all female characters are strong characters, but that doesn't mean they're all ruthless killers. I loved that. And I loved, loved, loved that Root isn't a villain because of some childhood trauma or something similar, she's a smart person, she sees the world in a certain way and behaves accordingly. She's truly a hero of her own story.

Or the fact that mothers aren't magical creatures like in Doctor Who, where their worth comes from their uterus, but are characters with lives and jobs and hobbies, who also have kids they would die for.

And when they had that wonderful lesbian couple and their storyline wasn't about their sexuality, and it was treated like any other number in the show and it was so perfectly normal? I love them.

I love everything about this show, the plot, the number of the week, the wonderful relationship between John and Harold, the music, the Machine's storyline, but I could really spend hours just talking about the female characters, they're just such perfect, complex, realistic human beings. ♥
