Discussion: Do Women Get To Follow Their Dreams On TV? Or Do They Just Get The Man?

Discussion for article #227296

I agree that film is not great to women, especially when a pretty misogynistic show like True Detective received so much praise and Emmy nominations. But what about the show “Bones”? Dr. Temperance Brennan has gotten everything she wants in her career, finding lost family members, having a baby, and marrying her true love FBI Agent Booth. I get that Bones doesn’t get talked about a lot since it’s a procedural, but I do find it to be consistently on the side of female empowerment while showing character growth.
