It seems almost a requirement that any drama staring women will at some point show them crying. I'm sure there are dramas starting men where that doesn't happen, but that would likely be to the female characters getting less screen time.

Can anyone name a drama starring or co-starring women where they managed to get through an entire season without shedding tears?

NOTE: this is not a complaint of women crying, I was just curious.

I've seen men crying too, but more common to see a woman crying.

I don't believe I can recall a Drama with no crying?

An entire season? No, not even old Westerns.
A season? lol they're doing well to get through an episode.

Are we talking about real women or guys in dresses?

I don't even watch T.V. so what the hell do I know 🤷

I think threads like this, reinforcing the idea of women as 'drama queens', don't do justice to the strength of women at all.

Well we never know for sure if we are talking to a male or female now do we. 🙂

I can't think of one where women don't cry, and though it's not an accurate way to portray women, I guess that's why they call it "drama"

My Brother-in-Law passed on Christmas Day, we knew each other since I was 17. I couldn't have had a better friend and he seemed more like a Brother to me. Yes, I cried like a baby! No one was around though. 🙂

Don't you know the difference, VR? That's quite an admission.

At least I'm not a "man wanna-be", like half of y'all in here.

There's a pretty high barrier of past binge-watching to even attempt an answer to the OP's question, though it is an interesting question.
