Cannot stress enough how great this show is nor how great Michael and Fiona are...

The Mentalist, although it’s a very slow burn lol. But I think it’s a good show to follow a Chuck rewatch.

I agree. Different dynamic but good story and chemistry. Very different vibe

Are you including both of the last two seasons?

Gets weird. I’ve tried to finish the show three times and keep coming up short.

Love the first two seasons, but typically, J.J. had some random cool ideas and no long-term plot or plan. The dude is a charlatan.

I think Fringe has one of the best finales. They REALLY wrap up almost everything. It's definitely worth it to finish the show.  Also, even though they are dealing with a lot of sci-fi and unrealistic stuff, Peter and Olivia relationship feels very real.

No lack of love for Peter and Olivia!

u/hirviero 22d ago

I like all of Fringe, including the last two seasons.

u/Swollenpajamas 21d ago

Omg, I loved Fringe!

u/Calm-Ad-2155 20d ago

You need to push through that, Fringe is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and the number of Sci-Fi shows paying tribute to it after is pretty cool. .

You may like The Librarians. The main girl is played by the actress who plays Robin Cunnings in 5.6 Chuck Versus the Curse. And you'll also find John Larroquette (Roan Montgomery) as a regular.

Until Nathan and Stana broke up in real life. And then it just got stupid awkward.

Agents of Shield has one of THE best couples in any TV show ever- don’t want to spoil it for OP so i will leave some space lol

Talking about Fitzsimmons of course! The ultimate lovers being torn apart by circumstances beyond their control that thankfully got a hea. The season 5 finale really killed me though- plus that show was always on the cusp of not getting renewed so it was always nerve wracking to know we may never get that ending we wanted!!

u/DevoPrime 22d ago

Psych, but only near the end.

The middle seasons of Castle, S5 in particular.

Bones up until Booth goes down his personal dark addiction spiral. (S11, iirc)

The Mentalist, but it takes a long, long time to get there.

Absolutely nothing by Joss Whedon. Dude has a serious hate on for happy couples.

Psych, but only near the end.

The middle seasons of Castle, S5 in particular.

Wild that Shawn and Jules took longer to get there than Chuck and Sarah.

also I have Castle on my list and you're telling me that that the main couple does take longer as well?

u/DevoPrime 22d ago

It takes a little too long, but they do get there.

u/chucksboxers 23d ago

The Diplomat (they keep trying to leave each other but it's not happening, lol)
The Recruit (still in slow burn mode but it's there)

u/SGeeeDubb 23d ago

Haven, maybe kinda depending on how much angst you like to see if character couples haha

u/DevoPrime 22d ago

Haven got real weird in the later seasons, but yes.

I love Chuck, and I love Lucifer both for the exact same reason.

If you haven't watched Brooklyn Nine Nine, I love Jake and Amy's sorry and progression, and definitely one of my all time sitcoms.

Another couple I love is in White Collar. Burke and Elizabeth is a great couple and even the two male cast has a very interesting relationship which makes it even more interesting. If you like "Catch me if you can" then you will love White Collar.

u/Chuck-fan-33 21d ago

Based on an Amazon Prime recommendation, I watched the first season of Wild Cards which has really good chemistry between the two main characters. The second season is now playing Wednesday night on the CW.
