I am doing a lot of knitting lately and I need something to watch in between lumps of Star Trek - an alternate genre to break up the space opera (I'm saving Watch All The Xenas for after I've watched all the Star Treks on the grounds of being more or less similar in genre, and both really long). I've been working through popular British detective series, but the problem with crime dramas, much as I enjoy them, is that most of the characters are dudes. (Except that one with Helen Mirren and I've seen it before. And Marple, ditto.)1
I am already following Nikita and Once Upon a Time, which are both nice in this respect, but they're on hiatus.
What I need is non-relationship-drama centric shows aimed at and starring multiple women to watch. For example, I can't stand the soap operatic quality of interpersonal relationships and the histrionic personal drama of Grey's Anatomy or The L Word. Or Downton Abbey, for that matter, but it has too much dude onscreen for my present purposes anyway. I hate reality tv of all kinds except Project Runway. I've already seen Buffy and everything else by Joss. And I hate all sitcoms. I don't really know where else to look. I'd therefore appreciate suggestions.
1. The other problem is when they Fail at various issues or, like the last episode of Frost I watched, actually don't fail but present the failure of a bunch of despicable toerags way too honestly. The protagonist was the only character I wasn't enraged with at the end, and that isn't good for my blood pressure.

Can you suggest a non-interpersonal-drama-centric television show about women?
