The angels, immortals, and devil on Netflix’s Lucifer all have a lot to learn when it comes to their lives on Earth. The demon Mazikeen’s biggest challenge has been figuring out how to fit in and make friends. After spending millennia as Lucifer’s right-hand woman, she couldn’t exactly relate to human problems. Slowly, though, she started to care about a select group of people.
Throughout the four seasons of Lucifer thus-far, the relationship between its titular devilish character and the tough as nails police detective Chloe Decker has seen its fair share of ups and downs. To be completely fair, the situations they face together often take a turn for the strange - but as a friend to Lucifer and the others, Chloe has had her bad moments along with the good ones.
Who doesn't want to be Frankie Bergstein in their twilight years? She has the coolest hippie wardrobe ever, lives in a sweet beach house, and is shameless about her love of tacos. In Netflix's Grace and Frankie, most of the characters find themselves sinking into the pitfalls of adulting, but Frankie always keeps a sunny outlook on life—often with the help of a doobie. Frankie may be in her seventies, but she's a kid at heart.
There are two key components that make Netflix's Grace and Frankie the rousing delight it is. First and foremost, it caters to the seniors' demographic, which has been criminally under-served—though improving in recent years with fare like The Kominsky Method and Book Club. Second, Grace and Frankie is of the ever-popular buddy comedy genre. Its titular characters are polar opposites—Grace is a vodka-swilling WASP and Frankie is a pot-smoking hippie—who are thrown together when their husbands leave them for each other.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel may look like a pink sprinkled cupcake of a TV show, but it packs some serious bite. Viewers and critics alike are enamored with Amy Sherman-Palladino's glamorous but naughty fantasy world of 1950s New York.
Hermione Granger is one of the most important characters in Harry Potter. She's known for her fierce intelligence and deep-rooted friendship with Harry and Ron. However, making friends didn't always come easily to Hermione. At the beginning of her Hogwarts career, Hermione is a lone wolf. Nobody makes an effort to be friends with her, but on the flip side, Hermione doesn't put herself out there either. It's not until a near-death experience with a troll that unites her with Harry and Ron.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer broke the mold. Not just in terms of cult TV status, but in terms of the titular character herself. Buffy comes from a long line of Slayers. She is the Chosen One, meaning she and she alone is meant to protect the world against vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. Well, Buffy Summers gives a big fat middle finger to tradition and ritual by involving her friends, the Scoobie Gang, in her never-ending fight against evil.
