It’s so true that if you can’t warm to the characters of a TV show, you’re not going to enjoy it as much. The characters are always what makes the show, so today I decided to share with you a few favourites of mine which generally are the reasons I love the shows so much!
Chandler Bing – Friends
When I think of my favourite TV series character, Chandler from Friends is always my first thought. His sarcastic lines are some of my favourite in the show and, as much as I love all the Friends characters, I definitely think Chandler has to be my favourite because of his humour which is renowned for making the show as iconic as it is.
Jessica Day – New Girl
I could honestly mention any of the characters of New Girl in this list because they are all so likeable, but Zooey Dechanel’s character Jess has to be my favourite on the show, of which is my latest watch. She’s so ditsy and funny and really makes the show (the few episodes when she was absent in season 5 didn’t feel right at all) and I find her so relatable! She’s the TV character who I think is most like myself and I really like her for that, obviously. I love how she always stands up for what she feels is right and isn’t afraid to.
Blair Waldorf – Gossip Girl
I’m pretty sure you mention Gossip Girl to someone my age and they’ll go on about how much they wish they were Blair Waldorf. She seems to live the perfect life, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, but of course her life comes with the gossip and drama you would expect. I actually personally think she is way too good for Chuck and wouldn’t have ended up with them together (sorry not sorry), but she’s such a role model and her style is a dream. The headbands!!
Rachel Green – Friends
Another Friends character, of course, but what I love about Rachel is how much her character develops over the course of the show. She begins as a nieve, spoilt young woman who had no idea how the world works and then becomes so career focused while becoming both an amazing mum and friend. Her style is amazing too, especially in the early seasons and some of her unfortunate mishaps, ‘I wasn’t supposed to put beef in the trifle!’ have to be some of the best Friends moments.
Jughead Jones – Riverdale
I am actually three episodes behind on Riverdale right now and desperately need to catch up, but one of the reasons I like the show so much has to be Jughead, played by Cole Sprouse, and his mysterious personality. He, in a way, acts as the narrator of the show which adds to his intreguie and I think he’s such an interesting character so I can’t wait to see what the writers do with him further.
Robin Scherbatsky – How I Met Your Mother
Robin was definitely my favourite character on HIMYM, especially because of how independent she was, while Robin Sparkles was of course one of the funniest gags of the show. I always wished she was never with Barney because I despised him compared to Robin, she didn’t need someone who brought her down but she desevered to be free travelling for her job which I think she truly wanted! She was so ‘badass’ and the show would have been far more dull without her.
