7 Best Movies And TV Shows Directed By Women In 2018

It’s not a secret there are lots of women in the business of making films and TV shows not only in front of the camera, but also behind it. Some of our most favourite shows were created or co-created by women (Gilmore Girls, anyone?) and there are more female directors out there than we all know about. Last year was rich in goodness created by women both on big and not-so-big screens. Here are the 9 best movies and TV shows created by women in 2018.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – Amy Sherman-Palladino
Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, this TV series is as funny as it is honest about relationships, motivations, and actions. The story revolves around a wife from the 40s who turns out to be a talented stand-up comedian. A revelation that happens after her husband cheats on her and she gives her first ever show at a bar pouring her heart out to the public. You’ll find this show to be amazingly sharp, deep, and absolutely hilarious.

Orange Is The New Black – Jenji Kohan
This is not a new show, of course, but we can’t emphasize enough just how good it is! We should all thank Jenji Kohan who took the memoir of Piper Kerman (yes, that very same Piper), and turned it into a gutsy, funny, and at times absolutely absurd TV show you can’t stop watching once you start.

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before – Susan Johnson
If you were waiting for the teen romance of the year – this is it! Directed by Susan Johnson, this movie tells us a story about one Lara Jean Covey who was secretly writing love letters to all her crushes, until one day they all got magically delivered. Her love life went from non-existent to crazy-real and it’s definitely one of the most fun teenage movies of the year.
