There are countless awesome tv series with female showrunners at the helm. Thus far, I've only covered "Gilmore Girls" in its entirety, but there's more TK! "My Brilliant Friend" is next.
"Top of the Lake" is back and I couldn't be happier. Jane Campion is one of the best living directors and I'm happy to watch her work on the big or small screen. If you've never watched "Top of the Lake&
Directing and writing credits:
Written by John Stephens, directed by Bethany Rooney. Stephens seems to specialize in teen shows that I weirdly love and have re-watched multiple times even though I'm an adult with self-proclaimed good taste. Please don't judge me. He's written 7
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. I'm pretty sure I could identify every episode written by the Palladinos without the help of IMDB. They each have such distinctive writing styles and the joke and insult density is unparalleled by any of
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Joan Binder Weiss, directed by Alan Myerson. Binder Weiss worked on Gilmore Girls from Season 1-3 and has 5 writing credits and 42 story editor credits. She also wrote 1 episode of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Summerland, two of my guilty pleasure shows

Directing and writing credits:
Written by Daniel Palladino, directed by Michael Katleman. As a director, I hate him, but as a writer, Daniel Palladino is pretty solid. He's actually penned some of my all-time favorite episodes:
* "The Bracebridge Dinner" - Season 2, Episode 10
* "Lorelai&
Directing and writing credits:
Written by Jed Seidel, directed by Alan Myerson. "Veronica Mars" fans might know Jed Seidel, who was responsible for three episodes: "Weapons of Class Destruction," "Silence of the Lamb," and "Meet John Smith." The standout for me is
Directing and writing credits:
This is the first episode in the series not written by ASP. Credit goes to Joanne T. Waters, and it is the only episode of "GG" she is credited with writing. In fact, she has written exactly three episodes of television: This episode of
Directing and writing credits:
Written by ASP, directed by Arlene Sanford. Arlene is another veteran who has directed a shit ton of tv ("Pretty Little Liars," "Grace and Frankie," "Ally McBeal"). I'm always immensely impressed by directors like Arlene who are able
