RELATIONSHIP-Focused NON-ROMANCE Dramas
Aka. Lots of Relationship development and/or Non-romantic chemistry or otherwise satifying non-romantic lines as selling point of drama.
Friendship, Family, Sismance, Bromance, BFFs, Coworker relationships, Boss-Employee relationships (that never turn romantic), grandma/grandpa-grandson/daughter relationship, Cousins, Teacher-student, Mentor-apprentice, Helper-Victim.......anything goes!
Better yet, if you can list these in unusual genres: crime, action, thriller, fantasy etc.
NOTE: You can add dramas that also include romance, but the main selling point (for YOU anyway) was its OTHER Relationships
I wish more dramas, especilly crime, actionthriller, fantasy had more relationship focus, not necersarly romantic.... that sentiment inspired this list.
