Strong/badass female lead like Nikita/Tamhee

 3GGG:

The 100th | This is a series that start dubious but it gets better and better. You get many amazing female characters, all central to the story. To the point that the ratio between men and women prominent in the show is about half and half (something almost unheard of, since the standard, is to maybe get a girl for every four guys :/).

+1 for the 100. So many badass women. Don't judge it by the first few episodes, which seem like a semi-typical teen sci-fi show. It starts to hit its stride between episode 1x04 and episode 1x08. It's been my favourite english-language series for years now.
