British-America spy dramaThe Night Managerpremieres this week on AMC.

Because Angela Burrs character in this TV adaptation is revolutionary in a couple of ways.

First of all, the adaptation doesnt make a big deal out of the fact that shes a woman.

The character is the same overworked, sweater-wearing enforcement agent she would be if she were a man.

Except for the fact, of course, that Burr happens to be super pregnant… Its pretty refreshing to see a pregnant character on TV whose pregnancy is not one of her defining characteristics.

The fact that Burr is having a baby is not played as a source of suspense or drama.

It is not given as a reason why she shouldnt be doing her job.

This is particularly ironic given that, when Sackhoffs casting was announced, the reaction was not entirely kind.

She was a female character who was allowed to be loud, opinionated, vulgar, and deeply flawed.

Jeri Hogarth,Jessica Jones

Carrie-Ann Moss is no stranger to badass female characters.

She is the actress behindThe Matrixs Trinity.

She also happens to play Marvel TVs first lesbian character:Jessica Jones Jeri Hogarth.

Her characer also happens to be gender-swapped.

Jeri is based on a male character, Jeryn Hogarth, from the Marvel comics.

Both are no-nonsense lawyers who occasionally hang with superheroes.

Except for, in the case of this show, that workaholic lawyer is a woman.

Luckily, like its main character,Jessica Jonesisnt afraid to push the boundaries.

Kono,Hawaii Five-0

Kudos to Grace Park for making this list not once, but twice.

Diversity matters on CBS, too, you know.

In this version, John Watson is actuallyJoanWatson, and is played with quiet intensity by Lucy Liu.

And she does an admirable job, forcing Holmes to recognize and respect her boundaries.

Jeremy Gilbert,The Vampire Diaries

Jeremy,The Vampire Diaries

In the L.J.

Lara Jean Chorostecki played this high-fashion, meticulously-groomed version of Freddie Lounds with gleeful bitterness.

Along with its MTV-like fast-paced editing,Robin Hoodalso gender-swapped one of its classic characters.

Boomer,Battlestar Galactica

And now for our second Grace Park character of the list!

Moving forward, Boomers arc would be one of the most depressing on a show filled with depressing arcs.
