Here’s a rundown of the best romantic comedies that’ll have you hooked!
Best Romantic Comedy Series
Nobody Wants This
In Nobody Wants This Kristen Bell and Adam Brody can be seen, playing off of the scenario where complete opposites tend to attract. She takes on Joanne, as loud mouthed and boisterous podcast host not caring as to who thinks so much of it either. It is played alongside Adam Brody as an unconventional calmed rabbi with the same name, Noah. Between them, in their introduction into each other’s life, they shocked Noah’s family big but then surprise each other also in several ways. With Joanne’s hilariously successful podcast and Noah’s quiet consistency, their chemistry is off the charts. It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, and it’s definitely a fresh take on romance.
One Day
One Day is for the believers of love that can stand the test of time. Adapted from David Nicholls’ novel, this series follows Emma and Dexter’s 14-year-long relationship, and let’s just say, it’s a rollercoaster. In this series, Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall play the roles of Emma and Dexter as they go through life’s ups and downs, which makes this series a real emotional ride. With every episode delving deeper into their love, their connection seems real and raw. Even if you have watched the movie, the series has layers that are added to the story that makes it worth watching!
Modern Love
Inspired by The New York Times column, this Modern Love anthology series seeks all kinds of love stories—the romantic, the platonic, and everything between them. Each episode holds new stories, with massive celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Dev Patel starring to help make each one packed a punch. Best yet? It shows that there is no one definition to love and that every episode unearths a different dimension into what it means to reach out to someone. Its heartwarming, yet relatable, and not to mention, has that something for everyone.
Bridgerton
Your perfect match if you are period drama with a twist. Produced by Shonda Rhimes, the Regency-series transports you into all the romance, drama, and scandal that happens within London’s high society. Season 1, for one, has tons of chemistry and romance going on between Daphne and the Duke and will leave room for much swoon-filled moments. A new set of romances is brewed in every season with multiple jaw-dropping twists that keep suspense flowing. This show has all the right ingredients: glitz, romance, and that special mix of drama and charm.
Heartstopper
Heartstopper is refreshing, with heartwarming scenes of young love between two high school boys, Charlie and Nick. From Alice Oseman’s graphic novels, this series masterfully captures both the elation and struggles of youth romance with such tenderness and respect. It’s just one of those shows that makes you feel good and a beautiful reminder of how sweet and sincere love can be. Charlie and Nick’s story is so adorable, uplifting, and sure to put a smile on your face.
Love
If you like your rom-coms a little more down to earth, then Love should be watched. Made by the great mind of Judd Apatow, it is a series focusing on the duo Mickey and Gus-it’s basically a work done on the most imperfect lovers trying to get through in order to make their messed-up, flawed world – and all that mess. Times cringe-worthy at times, and even awful: awkward but sometimes how true. And when Love dares to let things loose out so boldly when a little dirty-but perfect whenever things go well.
Fleabag
Fleabag is not like any other typical romantic comedy. Its individuality makes it unforgettable, though. Starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the series revolves around a woman navigating life, love, and loss in a refreshingly honest comedic tone. One of the most electrifying, hilarious, and bittersweet love stories out there can be seen in her relationship with the “hot priest” that Andrew Scott depicts in Season 2. Fleabag is raw, funny, and, at times, moving deeply; this makes it one of the most memorable rom-coms of recent years.
Virgin River
There is something warm about a romance set in a small town, and Virgin River has perfectly captured that charm. The story follows Mel Monroe, a nurse who moves to a small town to start anew, and finds herself falling for Jack, the local bartender. Their romance is built up slowly, full of quiet, heartwarming moments that make you root for them every step of the way. Virgin River is a beautiful reminder that sometimes, love is best when it’s simple and real.
Billy & Billie
Billy & Billie takes on an unconventional love story between two step-siblings, played by Adam Brody and Lisa Joyce. Their romance is complicated, awkward, and full of challenges, especially in trying to win over their family and friends. Despite having the trickiest of setups, the story of Billy & Billie’s love was humorously and sensitively depicted in such a manner as to prove that love often does not fit in boxes neatly. It’s that different rom-com, and it’s paying off with a hilarious story full of heart.
These series remind us that love is full of surprise, laughter, and those moments we cannot forget. Grab a bag of popcorn and start watching-they’re bound to add a little bit of fun to your day!
