Shows with BROMANCE
Simply a list of shows that have good bromance that I personally watched and can vouch for haha Also I highly recommend the following shows:
Hannibal, Merlin, Half Man, Loki (the series), House, Good Omens, BBC Sherlock, Our Flag Means Death, What We Do In The Shadows, Supernatural, Star Trek TOS
Also, there are series on this list that I have yet to see, but I have read that they are also really good. I have even more, but cannot confirm through reading if those have good bromance because commenters are mixed so I have not included them yet. I really do not like the genre ROMANCE so I continually try to find series where ROMANCE is non existent, or very minimal. Therefore some shows like Goblin (while objectively good) will not make it into this list.
Ok there are like 3 BLs here though that will be it.
