Anything written by Sally Wainwright. Seriously, she's amazing!

Warning though - Happy Valley has one of the best female characters I've ever encountered, but I couldn't watch it all because it's about bringing a rapist to justice, and the sexual violence was too much for me.

Also, she really messed up by killing off one half of a lesbian couple in the most disappointingly cliched way in Last Tango in Halifax. So much that she apologised for it.

Apart from that though, anything she writes is well worth your time, Gentleman Jack (not about a gentleman of any kind. Lesbian period drama) and Scott & Bailey (gritty police drama with two female cops and their female boss. One of them is a complete disaster of a human being in a way female characters rarely get to be) are very good.
