From The Matrix to Pride and Prejudice, these 10 movies and TV shows written by women feature some of the best written male characters ever.
Just like "women written by men," the idea of "men written by women" started rising in popularity as 2020-2021 TikTok trends gained traction, making countless users join the discussion, which revolved around the way male authors often hypersexualize their female characters in defiance of all laws of anatomy, and are also unable of writing a believable, realistic and well-rounded personality of the opposite sex.
9 'Mamma Mia!' Franchise The three potential Sophie dads are undoubtedly crucial elements of the Mamma Mia! franchise. After all, the series would not exist without them. Originally written by Phyllida Lloyd and Catherine Johnson, these three polar opposites but charming characters have won a lot of people over.
Adapted from Julia Quinn's book series, the fan-favorite show is well-known for its memorable characters, and the men that inhabit its world certainly attract attention. Anthony is incredibly caring even if he doesn't show it right away, whereas Simon is more openly compassionate. Both characters underwent significant character development, going from lowkey questionable folks to redeemable gentlemen.
6 'Divergent' The first installment of the American dystopian science fiction action franchise was, like the other entries, written by the best-selling author Veronica Roth. Theo James' Tobias Eaton, alias Four, is a stand-out character in the Divergent series, with many people — especially women — still believing he is a top-tier sci-fi lead man in films of the genre.
4 'Emma.' Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, the 2020 film Emma. is adapted from the novel of the same name and is regarded as one of the best book-to-screen adaptations of recent times. Although the immensely talented Taylor-Joy offers audiences a fantastic take on the treasured protagonist, Johnny Flynn thoroughly swept viewers off their feet with his portrayal of Mr. Knightley.
With a charming and charismatic personality, this "cool priest" thinks outside the box despite his restrictive profession. Additionally, he is really accepting of views more conservative members of the church would likely find baffling. All in all, it is nearly impossible not to feel drawn to Fleabag's memorable and well-crafted character, who also happens to be incredibly kind, understanding, and effortlessly funny.
