Is the ultimate list of TV besties?
I love my girlfriends.
They’re on call when advice is required or just a catch up over lunch. But if I lived in a parallel universe and could choose new best friends or add a few to my crowd I know from where I would choose them. In case you’ve been living under a rock, boxed sets are the new form of entertainment. Indeed, Kathy Lette writes anyone saying they’re getting creative in bed is code for watching boxed sets!
The following are my top 8 new best friends from boxed sets:
1. The Dowager Countess from Downton Abbey: She’s witty, acerbic, full of unsolicited advice and unapologetically critical. When accused of hating to be wrong she retorted: “I wouldn’t know, I’m not familiar with the sensation.” The kind of friend every girl needs even for amusement value.
2. Alicia from The Good Wife: She’s a brilliant lawyer, returned to practice after a considerable hiatus looking after babies. She’s stoic in the face of public embarrassment, loyal to her friends with a fabulous dress sense. You would call on her in heart beat for any legal issues or fashion advice.
3. Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones: Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones – sold into marriage at an early age, Daenerys proves herself as leadership material over and over again – if ever there was a poster girl for Sheryl Sandberg’s ‘Lean In’ she’s your woman! She’s someone you definitely want at your table.
