30 Acting Duos (And One Trio) Whose Chemistry On TV Was So Incredible, It Was Simply The Best Of The Year

"Those two have such chemistry, their characters feel like soulmates. Watching them interact was not only wholesome, but soothing to my soul. I cried my heart out when they had to say goodbye. Thank god they started out the television era of the MCU."

—kelyhernandez

"It weirdly upsets me that Roy and Keely aren’t a real-life couple."

—earlkay

"Danielle and Stefania are magic on screen. The chemistry they have is a joy to watch and it is an honor to witness each week. One of the best Shondaland couples of all time, fate laid its hand in putting these two together."

"I get they played the will they won’t they card with them, but I’m so sad with what happened to Dean!"

—jchristines

"They bring buddy comedy chemistry to a whole new level! And it doesn’t hurt that they have a hilarious bromance chemistry in real life, too. Precious!"

—mandie2

"The way they echoed each other's body language so often and the deleted scenes?! That's a decade of working together closely, paying off, right there."

—bethg31

"I'm cheating because this is three people, but I was so surprised by the amazing chemistry between Martin, Steve, and Selena on Only Murders In the Building. Selena kept up with the legendary comedians so well and complimented their comedic timing perfectly!"

—ckl2020

"All of the friendships on Sex Education. All of them. Every single one."

—jharperkd

"They always have great chemistry. This year has brought some not great 9-1-1 episodes, but it also brought the shooting episodes, and the amount of chemistry they had without even speaking was unreal. I know of a lot of people that are only still watching the show because of Buck and Eddie."

—mariatessa

"As always Beth and Rio had great chemistry on Good Girls this year. It SUCKS that we never got to see their relationship play out. They had so much potential."

—kelyhernandez

"Loki and Mobius had impeccable chemistry whether you shipped them romantically or only wanted the friendship."

—jen528

"Rollins and Carisi have long had a special spark and to finally see that develop into a relationship has been a delight."

—disgruntledpelican89

"Based on just the first four episodes of Hawkeye, Hailee and Jeremy work so well together and their partnership jumps off the screen. That might just be because Hailee oozes charisma in general, but regardless, they make an iconic duo."

—carolinelee7185

"I mean, did you see Hawkeye Episode 5?! The dinner scene between Yelena and Kate was so flawless and Hailee and Florence's chemistry is so perfect. I really hope we get to see more of them together in the MCU after this show ends."

—kaylaharrington

"The pattern here is basically that Hailee Steinfeld has chemistry with everyone, but there is something special about Hailee and Ella. This show is an underrated gem and the two of them have brought to life such an honest and romantic couple. I just know the real Emily and Sue would be proud."

—noradominick

"Such an underrated show and they have brilliant chemistry."

—bridgittk

"I loved their characters so much and they had such a good chemistry together. I can't wait to see more of them."

—tanyam44ab2253d

"Kirigan and Alina’s (and Inej and Kaz's) relationship chemistry is unmatched. I will be comparing every other fictional couple to them. The only couple that I think can beat that chemistry in the Shadow and Bone universe is Jesper and Wylan."

—chloedbrown25sheher

"Honestly, all of the actors on this show have incredible chemistry and the chemistry between friends was also amazing, but I think its especially impressive how much chemistry and connection Amita and Freddy were able to convey in a notoriously slow burning relationship. The books end with them finally managing to barely hold hands and yet the sparks and connection between the characters jumped off the screen so much that you didn’t even notice the physical distance."

—carolinelee7185

"I think they invented onscreen chemistry."

—sarah39420

"A slow burn pairing from an underrated show! They're both very different, Ace being the coolheaded one while Nancy has a fierce and admirable temper, but they both understand and want what's best for each other. Everyone I know who watches the show was practically screaming at their TV for them to finally kiss in the Season 2 finale. They weren't originally supposed to be a couple but the writers saw the chemistry between the two actors, along with the audience and wrote it in beautifully."

—lookuphereiam

"They have great chemistry (even after hundreds of years of marriage) and are very funny together — the best vampire couple on TV right now!"

—jenniewatchestv

"Does enemy chemistry count too? Because Maggie and Negan's interactions are the main thing that have kept me watching The Walking Dead this season. Every scene between them is fraught with tension."

—babybooterflies

"Everyone who saw Season 6, Episode 4 will agree that their chemistry is breathtaking."

—msrini

"They always had some of the best chemistry on the show and this year the writer finally decided to explore it. Their friends with benefits plot was pure electricity and seeing how they would be as a long term couple in the first episode of Season 6 was PERFECT. Cute little giggles, gushing over the other, and supporting each other?! We LOVE to see that."

—msrini

"They had such a wonderful 'love-hate' friendship during Season 1, and then their bond became stronger than ever after that beautiful pandemic episode moment. But in Season 2, Rob and Charlotte really went above and beyond. Ian and Poppy have such a complex friendship — one minute they absolutely loathe one another and the next minute they are each other's biggest fans. As much as they'd hate to admit it, they always bring out the best in one another. During this season, we saw them at their absolute best (and unfortunately their absolute worst) and it only made me fall in love with their dynamic even more. I've never seen actors portray such an intricate and real friendship the way Rob and Charlotte do. And I genuinely mean this when I say it, but the glorious gem that is Mythic Quest couldn't exist without Ian and Poppy's unconditional, platonic love."

—laurengarafano

"Those two are scorching hot as a couple in love, and absolutely brilliant on the rocks as well. On top of which, when they're both playing different characters with no romantic connection, who barely know each other, they still have this brilliant chemistry that works so well. They're super underrated."

—constanvee

"Their father-son dynamic was flawless."
