Most shows, no matter the genre, carry at least one love story that makes fans swoon and this year as well, viewers experienced multiple love stories, some new and some carried forward from previous seasons. There was major consideration for romantic stories featuring same-sex couples in multiple shows as they have found more acceptance among audiences. Despite numerous couples stealing fans' hearts in 2020, we've picked a list of the top 10 couples loved most by the viewers, though there might be story spoilers in these descriptions.
Eleanor and Chidi (The Good Place) Eleanor and Chidi relied on each other throughout their respective transformations in the show, making it clear that they were meant to be endgame. Even, originally, they were 'soulmates' and their rocky journey together only reinstated viewers' faith in this couple.
Emori and Murphy (The 100) Turning the seemingly 'bad boy' into a good person worked well for John Murphy and Emori, as their beautiful chemistry is undeniable. Murphy's proposal to Emori in the last season once again stole viewers' hearts, easily making them one of the best couples this year.
Amelia and Link (Grey's Anatomy) Amelia Shepherd and Atticus Lincoln went through a long journey of ups and downs throughout this long-running show. Their struggles paid off when they eventually had a baby together, proving they were meant for each other, making them one of the best couples on TV.
Alex and Charlie ( 13 Reasons Why) After the tumultuous journey of Alex Standall throughout the show, his beautiful story with Charlie looked comforting. Of all the trauma in the last season of the show, Charlie and Alex's romantic moments elevated smiles on the viewers' faces and they couldn't help but ship them.
Vanya and Sissy ( The Umbrella Academy) Definitely not the most ideal romantic situation, Vanya and Sissy's love in season 2 of the show is full of complications. And even though they don't end up together this season, but viewers keep rooting for this beautiful and rarely-showed on TV same-sex couple.
Lucifer and Chloe (Lucifer) After making viewers wait and crave for four seasons, Lucifer and Chloe finally admitted to their feelings for each other in the fifth season of the show this year. As they made things official, it was difficult to ignore their steamy romance and hence, they deserve a rightful place on this list.
Dani and Jamie (The Haunting of Bly Manor) Danielle Clayton and Jamie struggled through terrifying situations together in this horror show, bringing them closer than ever. Unarguably, one of the best lesbian couples on TV currently, they stayed strong under hardships and didn't let anything come between.
Jake and Amy (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) Detective Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago's story begins with hate and blossoms into romance, making them fan favourites. From marriage to a baby, this duo clearly sets relationship goals and one of the major reasons of B99's extreme popularity.
David and Patrick (Schitt's Creek) Patrick Brewer's attraction towards David was quite evident from when he entered the show, but their journey from being business partners to romantic partners and ultimately tying the knot in a beautiful ceremony was the perfect ending to this critically acclaimed show.
Luke and Julie (Julie and The Phantoms) This Netflix teen musical drama features not one but two beautiful love angels and even though Willie and Alex are as cute, Julie and Luke's strong chemistry won the show. Even without any physical interaction, the musical bond between the two is to die for.
