Recommend me dramas or movies where the female lead is good as well strong detective who does her best to solve cases and is smart. She has backbone and is very headstrong. Bonus points If she can throw punches or kick. I just want a strong detective female lead who isn't naive or dumb in her work and is very smart at what she does. She is calm as well. 

Note: It doesn't have to be a detective, it could be anything else similar to it e.g Police officer or agent.

Thank you. 

  • Cold case
  • Galileo
  • Signal
  • Unnatural

For a pleasant surprise there are ton of Japanese detective drama with female leads.  I can recommend among the ones I watched.

If I remember well, BOSS (2 seasons) could fit the criteria.
