One of the best examples is the friendship b/w Ted and Rebecca in Ted Lasso series. The way she comforted him when he had a panic attack in the bar cemented their adoration for each other, not in a romantic way, but in caring way.
A lot of people quit on The Bear in season 3 but season 4 made a quiet comeback in terms of writing that was missing from its previous season. Sydney and Ritchie were on each other’s throats in the one shot episode of season 1 when she accidentally stabbed him in the butt. Ritchie called syd hysterical at one point if I’m not wrong. But in season 4 they were dancing together in Ritchie’s ex-wife wedding and Ritchie continuously sought her support and the respect they have for each other is very charming and healthy, and it doesn’t feel forced in any way.
