Grace and Frankie from Grace And Frankie

Jane Fonda (Grace) and Lily Tomlin (Frankie) are not just partners-in-crime but also partners of laughter, tears and plenty of mood enhancers as they embark on a rollercoaster ride through life. Their explosive revelations turn their world upside down.
El and Max + Dustin and Steve from Stranger Things
Stranger Things may be a series about monsters from the Upside Down but at its core lies the theme of friendship. Max and El's bonding proves girlfriends are the sugar, spice and everything nice that's required in your teenage years. Dustin and Steve on the other hand have given an adorable touch to friendship goals - he's the babysitter/guide while Justin is the nerd he is. Mike, Lucas, Nancy and Jonathan also keep the 'party' up and running!
Otis and Eric from Sex Education
One of the underlying themes of Sex Education is the amazing bond two school-going teenagers and contrasting characters Eric and Otis share. Otis is Eric's support rock 24x7 while Eric is Otis' gateway to the world of adventures. Eric can always fall back on Otis while Otis is encouraged to step out of his comfort zone by Eric.
Flaca and Maritza from Orange Is The New Black
Flaca and Maritza perfectly sum up what best friends stand for. From twinning in OTT hats to pulling each other for grammar mistakes and terrible life choices, Flaca and Maritza are always together for the better or worse. Oh, and also, they are great dance partners. Major friendship goals, eh?
