Stede and Edward in Our Flag Means Death. That romance came on unexpectedly and drastically elevated the show. And it turns out there is a whole bunch of historical precedent for pirates, Blackbeard specifically, to have been involved in gay relationships.

Absolutely cannot wait for season 2.

The quality bounced around from episode to episode, but it was frighteningly creative.

It really showcases what can be done with practical effects vs digital.

babbitygook14 t1_j6etlvg wrote

Honestly, the thing that really sells me with that show is the incredible chemistry between the main cast. I can look past low budget sci-fi easily when there is a crew of characters that really fucking run with what they're working with. And everybody in that show is giving 110%. The body switching episode remains in my top 5 favorite sci-fi moments of all time for that very reason.

Regarding Firefly, I also really liked Kaylee and Simon. I think Jewel Staite said had the show continued, she would’ve loved to see the pair get married and have a baby.

I have quite a few throughout my years of watching TV shows, but my overall favourite would have to be Naomi and Emily from Skins, season 3 - 7.

They're undeniably one of the greatest relationship stories coming out of Skins. Even if you were to separate all the Naomily-related scenes from everything else in the series, it'd still make a fantastic romance movie/miniseries, one that's well-developed, taking us through flowery heart-warming days to gloomy and heart-breaking ones. It starts out as a cheesy and maybe even cliché 'gay girl have crush on straight girl' plot, but I think what made this one work from the get-go is that the series established that these 2 already had some 'awkward history' before the point where they see them first. Obviously the inevitable happens, but the subtle intricacy I think most viewers might not have noticed with Naomi and Emily is how both girls used each other as bridges to 'get away' from their complicated home lives. With Emily being seen as nothing more than her sister's shadow by her family who doesn't accept her for who she is, and Naomi whose mother comes and goes as she pleases and seemingly doesn't care about what Naomi wants, both girls were able to find themselves with each other.

Both Naomi and Emily's character development were done within the bounds of their relationship, and it is quite impressive when you see how much they changed throughout the series. A great relationship doesn't come without relationship drama though, so by the end of their story they'd gone through tender, heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, sweet, emotional and even sadder moments. Everything was executed perfectly; from their lustrous and tender lake scene, to the dark and gloomy tone of Emily's monologue on the edge of that rooftop, to Naomi's touching confession of love at the end of their school days, to the very poignant hospital scene where one girl is devastated about possibly having to see the love of her life for the final time, while the other feels the same about breaking her heart again.

yea if you're planning to watch the series just know it's 6 fucking season long (plus 1 epilogue season). and there are a lot of stories that rage from great to absolutely fucking terrible. lol.

I have a lot more favourite romance stories too. Trigonometry is another great one. It's about a polygamous couple.

MeCritic t1_j6cyqyp wrote

I cryed a lot while watching all 5 seasons of Chuck. Mostly Season 3 and 5 are heartbreaking in many ways. So many montages are made from this show.

Then of course HIMYM, which made love accessible for many ,,teenagers". Grey and Shephard in Grey's Anatomy. Of course Castle was a great detective show with really good romance plot. Love Life, which really reminds me 90s movies. Of course ,,The Affair". The Newsroom (Will and MacKanzie). Sex and the City as all time classic.

Recently - ,,Feel Good" has a unique vibe. Homeland has some love-stories in it. Don't forget on Normal People with Paul Mescal. But I found the relationship in it too much toxic and unbelievable, so after few episodes it kinda lost me. Oh, and Pachinko was really great!

PloppyTheSpaceship t1_j6bv792 wrote

I'd say D'Argo and Chiana from Farscape (mainly because someone's already said John and Aeryn).

So during a standard body-swap episode they do the obvious thing everyone would do in a body of the opposite gender, and decide they quite like each other. They have a relationship (mostly based on sex) which doesn't get a lot of attention, until Chiana decides to sleep with D'Argo's son (for unknown reasons).

Takes them probably over a season to start getting back together (I can't even recall when it happened), but in the end Chiana is pretty distraught at D'Argo's death.

Just seemed like a good "background" relationship to me.
