Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Buffy The Vampire Slayer is a fan favorite created by Joss Whedon who says "the main character is based on the archetypal blonde girl who gets killed first in every horror movie.The idea of Buffy was to subvert that idea, that image, and create someone who was a hero where she had always been a victim.”
Sometimes writers get it wrong but Joss got this one right. It does have it's contradictions between feminist and sexist but a show that runs for 7 years with over 100 episodes is bound to have some creative flaws. Buffy's character is both strong and gentle. She can be annoying at times but the heroic side always becomes prevalent bringing you back for more. So if horror shows with a strong female lead is your ideal show then this one is for you.

This gem would pass the Bechdel Test!
