15 Pairs Of TV Characters Who Had The Absolute Best Friendships

Every girl needs a true bestie!

TV is really making some major strides in how it portrays women and female friendships. I mean, there's way less unnecessary catfights and hostility for shock value. It feels like we've been able to explore how deep these relationships really go and how they can blossom into something beautiful.

The CW

Below are some of the best examples of female friendship from the last decade:

1. Leslie and Ann, Parks and Recreation

NBC

I mean, Leslie is the reason we have the national holiday of Galentine's Day, which is a way better holiday than Valentine's Day, tbh. Plus, her love for Ann is beyond sweet.

2. Issa and Molly, Insecure

HBO

I know their friend breakup is difficult, but remember the days when everything was great? I miss those!

3. Harley and Ivy, Harley Quinn

HBO Max

I know they're girlfriends at the end of the second season (!!!), but the first season really solidified their friendship bond. And a lot of good TV couples start out as good friends first!

4. Amy and Rosa, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

NBC

The Sleuth Sisters, need I say more?

5. Jess and Cece, New Girl

FOX

Best friends since childhood, these two remained friends and each found love with a member of the same loft. We love best friends who do everything together!

6. Brooke, Peyton, and Haley, One Tree Hill

The CW

Can we agree Lucas Scott sucks? If it wasn't for him, Brooke and Peyton would not have been at odds for so long! During the good times on the show, these three were a terrific trio.

7. Donna and Cameron, Halt and Catch Fire

AMC

The smartest move this show ever did was pairing these two together. To watch them succeed, fail, fall apart, and come together again was beautiful.

8. The Betties, Betty

HBO

An all-girl skateboard collective fighting the boy culture of skateboarding? Sign me up for that!!!

9. Gretchen and Lindsay, You’re the Worst

FX

Best friends through the ups and downs, even when they're being the worst. (Sorry, too easy I know.)

10. Jules and Ophelia, Sweet/Vicious

MTV

Besties who avenge campus assault together, stay together.

11. Eloise and Penelope, Bridgerton

Netflix

Best friends, one the town Gossip Girl, the other hunting her identity. Both leaning on each other to survive high society. They're the ultimate best friends and you can't tell me otherwise!

12. Betty and Veronica, Riverdale

The CW

They could have so easily made their friendship solely about Archie, but they didn't. They're B and V, the unstoppable, unbreakable dynamic duo!

13. Abbi and Ilana, Broad City

Comedy Central

I just wanted to join them on their adventures in New York City. Is that too much to ask?!

14. The Liars, Pretty Little Liars

Freeform

They've survived multiple A's, attempted murders, betrayals, and high school together. That's a pretty strong bond if you ask me!

15. And finally, Meredith and Cristina, Grey's Anatomy

ABC

They are each other's person and have been through everything from a failed wedding to a hospital lockdown together. What more do you want or need out of a friendship?
