I'll start - Liz from Motherland.

She's funny, never judges, down to earth and crude as fuck just like me. Plus she is single and has absolutely shit luck with relationships. Also me!

Samantha from sex and the city. Endlessly loyal, non judgemental and funny as hell

Reallycomplicatedpants · 02/10/2022 23:26

Daisy May Cooper's character Nic in her new series Am I Being Unreasonable. She'd be a fabulous friend to have.
In fact I'd like to be friends with Daisy May Cooper herself!

Dr Enys from Poldark - he's always so calm and kind and wise. And not afraid of telling you the truth when you need to hear it

Miranda

AsAnyFuleKno · 02/10/2022 23:43

Slightly obscure and dated one, but Amy from the 80s sitcom 'Duty Free.' Absolutely loved her, though she should have given David a very sharp elbow.

purplecheesecat · 03/10/2022 00:14

Miranda! Every day would be ‘such fun’

Alexis from Schitts Creek.

baroqueandblue · 03/10/2022 00:30

Alma, from 'Alma's Not Normal'. Compassionate, inspiring, keeps it real, and funny.

I'm not normal either, but I could learn a lot from her.

ChecoPerez · 03/10/2022 00:33

Hondo from S.W.A.T 🤤 can you imagine being fwb with that absolute babe?!?

But a proper friend - Mel from virgin river
