Wenclair, Bellarke, and 8 More Best Friendships in TV Series

So many TV shows, regardless of the plotline, are about relationships between people.

Often, they focus on romantic relationships, but sometimes it’s just straightforward friendship.

Here are 10 of the best TV friendships:

Wednesday and Enid (Wednesday)

This pair are the embodiment of the phrase opposites attract. Sure, that phrase is usually reserved for lovers, but nothing about these two says they should even be in the same friendship group. And yet, they’re as close as friends can be.

The Friends (Friends)

This group has everything from high-earning Chandler to jobbing actor Joey, and the different takes on life displayed by Phoebe and Rachel. Of course, Ross and Monica are siblings, but that doesn't always translate into true friendship. Some of the six have known each other since school, some not. All are inseparable.

Hawkins Heroes (Stranger Things)

Yes, it’s about fighting fantasy beasts. But really, it’s a coming-of-age drama about the strength of teenage friendship. These lot will do anything for each other and frequently risk their own lives.

Kate and Tully (Firefly Lane)

Firefly Lane is a charming show about the ups and downs of friendship. While Kate and Tully don’t always see eye to eye, they have each others’ backs, and neither really wants to face the world without the other.

James and the Derry Girls (Derry Girls)

The bickering and name-calling can’t hide the fact that this lot love each other. James may not be an official Derry girl, but he’s an honorary one. And who can ever forget his assertion “I’m a Derry girl!”

Bellamy and Clarke (The 100)

The 100 follows a group of friends just trying to survive in a dystopian future. At first, Bellamy and Clarke may not get on – but in the end, they were a force to be reckoned with and helped make the show relatable.

Rory and Lane (Gilmore Girls)

Some say this friendship is a bit one-sided. Some say the pair are very different and it shouldn’t make sense. But there is a clear chemistry and strong bond between them that you can’t deny. And somehow, it feels genuine.

Grace and Frankie (Grace and Frankie)

This unlikely friendship was one thrust upon two people who had never really liked each other but were suddenly (sort of) related. There are plenty of fallings out, but ultimately, they grow to like each other. It's a very real friendship that resonates with many.

Archie and the gang (Riverdale)

Riverdale is unashamedly about friendship. The gang comprises so many different character types that gel together, not only to solve murders, but to be there for each other no matter what.

The Pogues (Outer Banks)

A tale of social division, Outer Banks follows a group of working-class kids for whom their identity as Pogues is paramount in understanding themselves and each other. They may not always get along, but no matter what, they stick together.
