These are the best friendships in TV history.

It's not surprising that iconic rivalries always get a lot more play in fan discussions than iconic friendships, since seeing some characters fighting is a lot more exciting than seeing them sharing love and affection for each other. However, writing a good friendship story is infinitely more complex than creating a believable rivalry or romance, but the following six shows have nailed the task perfectly.

The six friendships listed below are sure to delight you in more ways than one.

6. Bellamy and Clarke (The 100)

The biggest haters on The 100 suddenly became the best of friends, and millions of fans were happy that the writers decided to bet on making Bellamy and Clarke a powerhouse friendship. For a show like The 100, where everyone was trying to stab each other in the back, Bellamy and Clarke's relationship was a breath of fresh air.

5. Main characters (Sex and the City)

While the interesting setting and great soundtrack were one of the reasons Stranger Things became an iconic show, it was the chemistry between all the members of the Hawkins gang that really made the series stand out from the rest. The characters' friendships continue to be a constant source of laughter and admiration for fans.

2. Enid and Wednesday (Wednesday)
