The Looming Tower - Powerful portrayal of the actual events leading up to September 11th 2001.. addictive viewing.. a well-written, well-acted, and clever script, so not your usual 9/11 portrayal

I was about to post this scene from the latter. This show is created by John Milius, writer of Apocalypse Now.

it had a proper "powerful female" role
cersei lannister portrayed brilliantly by lena headley
historically powerful women (without getting into the merit of amazons and some viking ladies) exercised their power by means of strategy
they plotted their way to the top and then executed their merciless plans from a comfortable sitting position upon a tower
nowadays every show that has a woman they have to be fucking martial arts experts or be brandishing swords around
roll my eyes at that shit
it's like when companies release "for women" products by turning them pink
