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!

Jean-Luc Picard, but only from the TV series up to Star Trek: First Contact.

CJ from the West Wing, though she's probably too busy for friends she doesn't work with.

Lesley Knope. Parks and recreation.
She'd motivate the shit out of me.

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.

I’m with you- her cutting wit!

Oh yes! DH would be a bit 'matthew' about it though, probably quite fairly.

Maggie O'Connell from Northern Exposure [retro]. I'd really need a friend in that environment and I thought she was great.

Dr Caroline Todd from Green Wing

I don't know most of these shows much less the characters. But from Northern Exposure... I choose Holling for sure. Solid & kind, why Shelly chose him. Maggie was neurotic AF. The whole story about her coffee cup being moved, omg, tedious. Marilyn as my 2nd choice only because she was hard to read, but cracking SoH when it peeked out.

Vinnie from Brassic

Just watched God's Favourite Idiot so I'd say Clark, Mohsin or Wendy.

Jake from Brooklyn 99. He's a great friend.
