( The prompts... )
Wow I got behind! Yesterday was exhausting and I couldn't make myself type anything. But now is the time for catching up.
Day Five: Favorite female character on a male-driven show I don't watch "male-driven" shows. I don't really know what the term means. To even find a show that qualifies I have to go all the way back to the original Law & Order and the character of Lieutenant Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkeson). She's a force of female authority and sensibility that never gets turned into a mother figure, which is difficult to pull off. Merkeson's dry delivery of her lines really helps. She has a distinctive voice and line delivery method that speaks volumes about the character as a person despite the fact that, in true Law & Order fashion, revelations about her background and personal life are few and far between.
Day Six: Favorite female-driven show Buffy! Xena! Nah, just kidding. That would be too easy, although I do love those shows and think they're huge milestones for the depiction of women on television. But I'm actually going to go with Judging Amy, which if you don't remember it was a drama series from the early 2000's about a family court judge and her mother, a social worker. Amy Brenneman and Tyne Daly played the respective leads and were just awesome onscreen together portraying a very believable mother-daughter relationship. It was a drama that dealt with serious issues, yet I found it a great show to unwind and relax to. It's great rainy day, wrapped in a warm blanket and drinking cocoa viewing. Of course a lot of people say the same thing about Buffy and Xena but I get psyched watching those shows. Amy just puts me in a good mood.
