r/televisionsuggestions on Reddit: Looking for TV Shows with Swoon-Worthy Romance!
February 5, 2025 -
I'm obsessed with TV shows that have deep, emotional romance at their core. Some of my favorites include:
Jane the Virgin (Love Jane and Rafael)
Ginny & Georgia (Marcus & Ginny are so cute)
Sex and the City (Do I even have to explain)
Gossip Girl (Toxic but I love Chuck and Blair)
Never Have I Ever
The Good Place (Chidi and Eleanor are my faves)
The Summer I Turned Pretty (Team Conrad all the way)
Firefly Lane (Ugh, this one broke my heart)
Nobody Wants This
H2O: Just Add Water (Nostalgic, but I loved Zane and Rikki's enemies-to-lovers dynamic)
Surprisingly, I also loved Outer Banks, though I'm not usually into so much action, but I loved Sarah and John B’s love (plus the tropical aesthetic) so that's what kept me hooked. John B is so sweet to her. I also enjoyed Good Girls and Dead to Me even though romance wasn’t the focus.
For reference, some romance movies I love:
Twilight
The After Movies
Fifty Shades of Grey (mainly for the romance + rich aesthetic lol)
The Hunger Games (Peeta is everything)
My Fault
Aesthetics really matter to me too; TSITP’s summer vibes and OBX’s tropical/reggae feel add so much to the experience. I don't like 18th century/older time periods where there is a strong historical aesthetic with costumes, castles, and old-world settings, not my type of vibe so please don't recommend shows like that.
I know some shows take time to get into (OBX felt slow at first, but I ended up loving it). I’ve been recommended The Vampire Diaries and The OC but struggled to get into them... maybe I just need to stick with them? I also have been recommended Bridgerton, but I don't really like the old queen/king castle type aesthetics, but maybe I also just need to try it out anyway?
What are your best romance-heavy TV show recommendations? I want that deep, passionate love that keeps you hooked!

It's a subplot rather than a main plot, but David and Patrick's relationship in Schitt's Creek is probably my favorite TV romance. Very sweet and funny, and surprisingly little drama for a sitcom romance.

Drop dead diva ..if you can find it. The Newsroom may interest you. There's a few love stories in it, my favorite was Sloans

What are the best romantic TV series to watch and enjoy?
Chuck (2007-12). It's a niche cult show and a great love story with a great cast that has fantastic chemistry together (and had a lot of fun filming the show). It's also deeper than it looks, with two parallel bildungsromane (growth journeys) for Chuck and Sarah that take all five seasons to complete, an ethical exploration of love vs duty (from Star Warrs applied to the spy world) and utilitarian ethics vs virtue ethics, and a very nice and satisfyingly deep but still fun exploration of real vs cover (real identity or relationhsip vs cover identity or relationship), a ton of pop culture references, a fantastic sound track that understores and enriches the story, and a very clever chiastic narrative structure with parallels, counterpoints, and mirrors between scenes, episodes, and seasons. (You have to do some spy work to figure out what's going on with these spies, which led to unending discussions and arguments among fans in Internet boards when the show came out.) You may not catch any of the deep stuff above (I didn't) and will simply enjoy the unreal chemistry between Chuck and Sarah and their story. It should be free on Amazon Prime. Lois and Clark (1993-97) is basically like Chuck but easier to understand. It was free on Tubi until a few months ago (it might come back). If you are into Korean drama, Crash Landing on You (2021) is a great one-season overview of the relationship between North Korea and South Korea, symbolized through a beautiful and pure love story between a stoic North Korean soldier and a bubbly South Korean businesswoman. The main actors got married in real life after this show. The show was a sensation when it came out a few years ago. Can be korny (Korean corny) at times, but a great story nonetheless.

In Mindy Project, Mindy is very into romcoms, and her dating life is a big part of the plot (along with workplace scenarios). Hart of Dixie is my favorite CW show; lots of relationships that transform in and out of love triangles and love squares. The plot is similar to what I've seen from Virgin River, but maybe a bit more of a comedy. Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend hit a similar vibe with the romantic relationships driving a lot of plot. More on reddit.com

Each episode of the show depicts the same date, July 15, in different years throughout a 14-year period, following the duo through life changes, romantic relationships, and petty grievances.

The 15 Best TV Shows of 2025: 'Heated Rivalry,' 'Pluribus,' 'The Pitt,' and More
2 weeks ago - If the stock price of Kleenex spiked in April, the brilliant limited series Dying for Sex is to blame. Not blame, though. To be cherished. Because it was also so hilarious, and spiritual, and affirming, and silly, and profound.
