  1. Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones

I mean..duh šŸ˜‘ Except for the last 2 seasons where they degraded her character to a crazy, stupid, pseudo-romantic & naive child, she was the sole reason I picked up this show. She was the fuckinā€™ MVP šŸ”„. Danny = badass, powerful, sexy motherfucker who deserved a lot more from the writers.

Enjoy 2 of the most badass scenes ever created for TV:

2. Beth Dutton from Yellowstone

Okay, how everyone and I mean EVERYONEā€™s not watching this show is beyond me. Beth Dutton is a cat. Sheā€™s someone Iā€™d totally befriend. Yay!
Why donā€™t they write more awesome female characters like her? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

3. Renata Klein from Big Little Lies

Renata is MVP for anything. TBH Sheā€™s the only thing thatā€™s different and better from the book. She started a little annoying but turned into a one slice of a bad bitch motherfucker whoā€™d kill & die for her friends. Kudos! šŸ˜Ž

Her ā€œI will not NOT be richā€ is one single best line created for TV..like..ever šŸ˜ƒ

But it wasnā€™t until THIS that I started worshipping her šŸ˜

4. Jessica Jones from Jessica Jones

I donā€™t like superheroes, superpowers and characters who have ā€œabilitiesā€. But Jessicaā€™s different. Sheā€™s the only superhero I like and thatā€™s saying A LOT. ā¤ļø

5. Claire Underwood from House of Cards

Again, except for the last 2 seasons, Claire was awesome. She was cold, calculating, manipulating, smart, loyal (to Frank and her beliefs) and a slayer of a character. Shame they ended her arc like that.

6. Maeve Millay from Westworld

Ohhhhkay. This is smth special.

ā€œYou really make a terrible human being. And I mean that as a complimentā€

Sheā€™s fantastic. For me, the MVP for Westworld is Maeve. Iā€™d go behind anything she does. šŸ”„šŸ”„

7. Ani Bezzerides from True Detective

Ok so seems like Iā€™m the only person who liked Season 2 better than Season 1 of TD. Ani was MVP. Her character explored smth very few people paid attention to. When the ones that are getting harassed, molested or raped form not kind of an attraction or connection to the person doing it to them but smth like when they actually want it to be done to them to feelā€¦pretty or wanted. Thatā€™s fucked up big time but it happens and needs to be talked about. šŸ‘€

8. Alex Vause from OITNB

Fuck. Okay. Thereā€™s a trending Youtube comment that says ā€œAlex Vause, turning straight girls gay since 2013ā€. šŸ˜ƒ Well itā€™s extremely close to being true. Laura does an unbelievable job playing this character and sheā€™s been one badass bitch since like..ever. Just watch her. The hot one šŸ˜†

This oneā€™s an extraordinary scene, honest and pure

9. Galina ā€œRedā€ Reznikov from OITNB

Ok itā€™s hard not to have at least 2 badass characters from the same show when there are like 20 amazing women in it. Redā€™s actually much better of a character than Vause. Sheā€™s total MVP.

10. Sloan Sabbith from The Newsroom

Just finished The Newsroom actually. And honestly, I wouldā€™ve watched a spin-off with just her for at least another 5 seasons.
Just look at her record: 2 PHDs in Economics, 15 years of experience in the field, Senior Financial Reporter at the 2nd News Channel in the country, turns down $4M/y job offer to do some good by reporting the news, ravishingly good looking and socially inept & awkward. Total MVP. Love her. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

Watch this:

11. Samantha Jones from Sex and the City

I think thereā€™s no walking, breathing female who hasnā€™t seen SATC or at least there shouldnā€™t be. I donā€™t like the show that much but I have to accept itā€™s a fantastic tribute to women. The problem with it was there were zero decent guys and just one decent woman: Samantha. I still believe she was the only one who loved for real and got her heart broken. The others were plain husband-hunting, including Carrie. Sheā€™s the best friend, she never judges and sheā€™s always there! šŸ˜
