How to get away with murder
Jessica Jones
Engaging multi-faceted drama with a female super hero angle. This is Marvel’s first female led superhero TV series and its done right. The depiction of a normal life or one that is close to it, touch of humanity and no form fitting spandex costume are definitely the high notes.
Being Mary Jane
Mary Jane the lead in the show is battling life on all fronts – career, family, romance and is thematically ambitious. You can expect a lot of unleashing of vulnerabilities and retrospect as a viewer.
The Fall
The lead character Stella Gibson has depths varying from insanely static to deeply expressive. The British crime drama is spun around a realistic tale of serial killer and an icy, feminist and sadly accurate detective.
New Girl
The show has an ensemble comedy mettle and the lead Jessica Day (played by Zooey Deschanel) is absolutely phenomenal. Show’s courageous and positive attitude towards life just makes it an apt doze of happiness you should include in your watch list.
