Love is hard to find in real life, but in TV shows it’s easy to find a relationship to obsess over.
I looked back at some of my favorite relationships from past and current TV that help me believe in love. 
I decided to rank them based on the storyline, the quality of the characters and my personal taste. 

9. Rory and Jess from “Gilmore Girls”
An oldie but a goodie, Rory and Jess are a classic tale of good girl meets bad boy, and they’ve enraptured multiple generations of audiences with their tumultuous romance. 

8. Nick and Charlie from “Heartstopper”
“Heartstopper,” a series of graphic novels turned into a Netflix adaptation, is a romantic show that will make you feel giddy all the way through. The show is about the blossoming romance between Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson, two teenage boys from different social circles. 
Their relationship is full of self-discovery, and it makes the audiences believe in love for its entire eight-episode run.

7. Janine and Gregory from “Abbott Elementary”
Comedies are notorious for having iconic “will they or won’t they” romances, and Janine and Gregory’s relationship from “Abbott Elementary” is no exception.
These two had a connection from the start, and season two only led to more tension-filled scenes. Fans have been raving about Janine and Gregory’s budding romance from the beginning. I can only imagine the excitement if the two ever take their connection to the next level.

6. Cece and Schmidt from “New Girl”
Nick and Jess may be the primary couple of this show, but Cece and Schmidt are the show’s embodiment of true love. They have one of the most romantic love stories of all time, and my personal favorite proposal scene in all of television.

5. Leighton and Alicia from “Sex Lives of College Girls”
This one might be controversial since there is a large number of fans who are still rooting for Leighton to end up with Tatum, but I never got over Leighton and Alicia. The two are perfect opposites and both have many flaws, but they ultimately make each other better; that’s all you can hope for out of a significant other. 

4. Tory and Robby from “Cobra Kai”
“Cobra Kai” is an all-around great show if you love the “Karate Kid” franchise and cheesiness. The show is full of humor, nostalgia and romance; it is nothing short of a masterpiece.
My favorite couple in the show is Tory Nichols and Robby Keene, also known as Keenry by the fanbase. I love this ship so much that it inspired my Twitter username. I enjoy every scene with them, and I think they are underutilized by the writers in every conceivable way.
Let them go on a date.

3. Belly and Conrad from “The Summer I Turned Pretty”
This show was the hot topic of the summer. The series’ main draw is the love triangle between Belly and the Fisher brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah, but it’s clear which boy comes out on top. 
Belly and Conrad’s romance is the best part of the show; however, if the show’s adaptations of the sequels are lacking, this ship might quickly fall to the back of the ranking.

2. John B and Sarah from “Outer Banks”
These two are a prime example of an epic love story. The growth from both characters that propels the relationship forward is endearing, and their angst isn’t aggravating to the point where you start rooting for the relationship to fail. 
If you’re looking for an adventurous show with a good romantic subplot, look no further than “Outer Banks.”

1. Kate and Anthony from “Bridgerton”
It isn’t much of a shock that these two have made the top of a list centered around romance. They’re adapted from a series of romance books after all. Still, these two managed to hold down an entire season as leads despite the show doing everything it can to disrupt their love story.
While fans are nervous that Simone Ashley (Kate) and Jonathan Bailey (Anthony) might leave the show now that their season is over, the characters are now the heads of the Bridgerton household; it wouldn’t make sense for them to not get screentime in the following seasons. 
So don’t fret Kanthony fans; we should be seeing this lovely married couple for years to come.
