I'm still reeling from the latest ratings on Netflix! Did you know that 85% of rom-com viewership happens within 2 weeks of new releases? 🀯 Meanwhile, if I look at the top 10 most streamed TV romance shows, 'The Great' takes the cake with an astonishing 47% viewer engagement! πŸ‘‘ The show's portrayal of royal life and forbidden love is a total winner. πŸ’˜ But what really caught my attention was the fact that 32% of viewers watch rom-coms during their annual breaks, whether it's a road trip or just some chill time at home πŸš—πŸ’†β€β™€οΈ. I mean, who doesn't love getting swept up in a good love story? πŸ“Ί What's your go-to TV romance show, btw?
 
idk why i'm just now seeing this thread lol πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ anyway, gotta say, 'Schitt's Creek' is like my ultimate comfort watch. it's got that perfect blend of humor and heart. steve carell's character is literally the most lovable grump i've ever seen. and the way the show explores family dynamics and acceptance... it's just so relatable. plus, it's not your typical romcom where everyone's all cheerful and stuff. it's more like real life, you know?
 
OMG I'm still obsessed with that one show 'Outlander' πŸŒΉπŸ“Ί, you know how it's set in Scotland during WW2 and Claire gets transported back to 18th century? It's like a total guilty pleasure for me πŸ˜‚. The romance between her and Jamie is so intense! And the scenery is just stunning - I've always wanted to visit Scotland but now I'm more inspired to plan that trip πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ. I also love how it's not your typical romcom, there are battles, politics, and drama - makes for a much better story πŸ’ͺ. What about you guys? Got any fave TV romcoms?
 
omg i'm totally obsessed with "to all the boys ive loved before" on netflix its like they got every romance trope down pat from the fake dating to the enemies-to-lovers i ship jenkims so hard lol but what really gets me is how real the characters are no one is perfect and everyone has their own struggles and flaws i mean we've all been there where we're trying to navigate these crazy feelings and relationships are just super messy but somehow that's what makes it all worth it
 
I'm telling you, it's all about the production company behind 'Bridgerton'. They must be using some kinda mind control on the cast or something. Those Regency-era romps are so addicting! 😏 I mean, who wouldn't want to watch Jonathon Bailey's dashing face for hours on end? And have you noticed how often those leads just happen to bump into each other off-screen? Coincidence? πŸ™„ Maybe they're really meant to be.
 
I'm obsessed with 'Schitt's Creek' πŸ€— - it's got that perfect balance of quirky humor, heartwarming moments, and lovable characters. But what really draws me to it is how it tackles real-life issues like acceptance, love, and finding your place in the world. The chemistry between Eugene and David is undeniable, but I also appreciate how the show doesn't shy away from showing the imperfections of its characters - they're relatable, you know? Plus, the way it blends witty banter with genuine emotional depth makes for an unmissable watch πŸ“Ί
 
I'm so over how sappy these TV romance shows are πŸ™„ but at the same time, I love getting sucked into a good love story. For me, it's gotta be 'Schitt's Creek' - there's just something about Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara that makes you laugh and feel all the feels πŸ’• I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a show about a wealthy family who has to move to this tiny town they bought as a joke? 🀣 The humor is perfect and the characters are so lovable. I also love how it tackles real issues like mental health and identity in a way that's relatable and entertaining. What's your go-to TV romcom, btw? 😊
 
I'm totally obsessed with 'Schitt's Creek' rn 🀩, that show has the perfect mix of heartwarming moments and hilarious banter between the leads. I love how it explores relationships and community in a super quirky way πŸ’•πŸ‘«, makes me laugh out loud every time! What about you guys?
 
I'm so sick of all these "guilty pleasure" romcoms that are just a bunch of entitled rich folks and unrealistic expectations πŸ˜’. Give me something with some substance, like "Schitt's Creek". At least those characters had depth and actual growth, not just a lot of eye candy and fake drama πŸ’β€β™€οΈ.
 
i think what draws me to a good tv romance is when it's not just about the drama and ups & downs, but also about how the characters grow and learn from each other πŸ’•. like in 'Gilmore Girls', i love how rory & lorelai's relationship evolves over time - it's not just a fairy tale romance, but also a realistic portrayal of how people navigate life's complexities πŸ‚. for me, that's what makes a tv romance truly unforgettable 😊
 
I'm more of a binge-watch-the-whole-Netflix-library kind of person myself, and I gotta say, I'm really loving that new sci-fi show "Stranger Things" right now 🀯. Have you guys watched it? It's like, whoa! The nostalgic vibes are super on point. And don't even get me started on the Eggos... anyway, back to TV romcoms... I mean, I've seen some of those Bridgerton episodes, and they're definitely swoon-worthy πŸ˜‚, but I think what really draws me in is when shows tackle more realistic storylines, you know? Like, 'Gilmore Girls' does a great job of showing the ups and downs of small-town life... it's just so relatable. What about you guys?
 
omg i'm totally obsessed with that new season of 'Outer Banks' the way they reenact those drama-filled moments from 90s is giving me LIFE 🀩❀️ and can we talk about john b's brooding gaze for a sec? it's like he stole all the scenes by himself πŸ™Œ anyway, i've also been binge-watching 'Emily in Paris' lately and it's got me feeling all the feels especially those coffee shop meetups between emily and luc 😊
 
TV romance is like my emotional bank account πŸ’Έ - once you invest, you'll always be hooked! I'm still re-watching "The Office" for the 10th time because Michael Scott's cringe-worthy awesomeness πŸ€£πŸ‘€
 
I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of 'Outlander'. There's something about Claire and Jamie's story that just draws you in. It's like they're speaking straight to your heart ❀️. But at the same time, I find it a bit hard to believe how intense their romance is, especially given all the historical drama they go through 🀯. I mean, I love it when writers create these swoon-worthy characters, but sometimes it feels a bit over-the-top for me πŸ˜….

Still, what I think makes 'Outlander' so special is its mix of romance and adventure. It's not just your typical fairytale romance; it's got action, drama, and even some historical accuracy πŸ“š. So while it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I definitely find myself coming back for more πŸ’•.
 
I'm still on Team Gilmore Girls 🍁❀️ after all these years. There's just something about the quirky charm of Stars Hollow that keeps me coming back for more. I love how Lorelai and Rory's relationship evolves over the seasons - it's real, it's relatable, and it's ridiculously cute 😊. Plus, who can resist a good dose of witty banter between Emily and Lorelai? πŸ˜‚ It's like they're speaking my language! What about you? Got a favorite TV romcom that never fails to put a smile on your face? πŸ€”
 
omg i am literally still reeling from that last ep of Bridgerton season 2 🀯 the way they portrayed the sisters' relationships with each other was so beautifully done, i felt like i was right there with them going through all the ups and downs πŸ’– it's just one of those shows that makes you feel seen and understood, you know?
 
I'm totally obsessed with 'Schitt's Creek' right now 🀩. I mean, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are just too funny & sweet together. And the way they play these characters who go from being super rich to living in a tiny town is just hilarious. But at the same time, it's also really heartwarming how they learn to love each other despite their differences. I think that's what makes it so relatable. The writing is just so clever & the acting is top-notch too!
 
omg i am totally obsessed with "to all the boys ive loved before" on netflix 🀩 its like they perfect portrayal of high school romance and i ship peter & jess more than ever πŸ’• i love how real it feels like a sweet high school crush but also so deep what do u guys think about this show? is there another tv romcom that holds a special place in your heart?
