When Samantha from SATC said, “Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with,”it hit hard. Our female friends are our biggest cheerleaders, critics, and fiercest supporters on the rocky journey called life. And it is not every day that you come across shows about friendship representing women in a positive light. So, when we found these shows about female friendship, we knew we had to share it with everyone. Women are often pitted against each other as competitive contemporaries, but these light-headed shows on unconditional friendship are a must-watch with your female bae.
Shows about female friendships you cannot miss:
1. Grey’s Anatomy
One of the longest-running shows of the decade, Grey’s Anatomy is less of an American medical drama and more about female friendship. The relationship between Meredith, played by Ellen Pompeo, and her best friend Christina Yang, played by Sandra Oh, defines true friendship goals. Standing by each other through personal and professional highs and lows, the two women calling each their “person” is the kind of bond we want with our girlfriends.

2. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
An American sitcom based around New York’s fictional 99th precinct Brooklyn police department is too good a show to miss. A Golden Globe Award winning show, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the best shows about female friendship. Amy, the Captain’s pet, and Rosa, a rebellious daredevil, despite their stark personalities, are close confidants and co-workers.
