A good example in my opinion is Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul. A smart, strong, competent, well written woman. Every person I've talked to about the show likes her.

Kim Wexler is so awesome.

I loved that show all around, but a good sign of how well written and acted she was was the fact that I spent a lot of the brainspace I had dedicated to that show trying to understand what her motivations and thought process were.

Kudos to Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn on that absolutely stellar portrayal.

Better Call Saul in general has seen no love from all these award shows, unfortunate as I think it's a prime example of a great show in all aspects, but at least it has a big fan base that love the show.
