SA advisory

By the nature of the subject matter, this list contains plot spoilers!


Some shows create strong, complex, interesting female characters, but then don't know what to do with them. So the female characters slowly get de-powered over the course of the drama so that their entire lives revolve around the decisions men make. These stories also are more likely to feature rape. Or there are shows where writers can conceive of no motivation women can have for being strong other than revenge for rape. Rape - it's almost always bad writing.

  • Sob o Poder

    1. Sob o Poder

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 55 episodes

    7.5

    This story has so many interesting female characters... and then it seems to have trouble remembering what motivates them. It's not just that there's a lot of rape and threatened rape in this show , but also that it drives the plot when there are perfectly good political mysteries to focus on.

  • Uma Liga de Nobres

    10. Uma Liga de Nobres

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 29 episodes

    8.0

    Despite being a show I enjoyed a lot, this story seems to have very little concept of women as anything other than virgins, victims, or evil schemers.  (warnings for episode 7)

  • Fiel

    11. Fiel

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes

    This show is about seeking justice against a serial rapist, so it's not a breakdown in the writing. So this isn't necessarily a lack of writing skill as much as just a choice of topic. But adding it because it still has assault in it and the summary is being a bit coy.
