I can't speak for the TV show, but the 1990 Film by Luc Besson is one of the best "action girl" movies ever.

Some truly epic shit, only outdone by its predecessor the equally incredible Leon aka The Professional .

Both examples of how an action movie need not be ultra-realistic to be good.

Few TV shows depict homosexuality as honestly as The Wire. Kima Greggs is one of the coolest lesbians ever and Omar Little is pretty much the baddest character ever, gay or straight.
