#Conversations with friends tv show series#

This series doesn’t shy away from big topics and questions, but it addresses them with stylish visual panache and a clever script, honed by Martin herself. Feel GoodĬomedian Mae Martin is the creator of this sexy, messy, totally compelling television show about an addictive new relationship – which could be a description of Conversations, too. Based on the New York Times column of the same name, in which love stories in all their forms are shared, this anthology series is touching and profound, with a cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, and Tina Fey.

If that’s what you found appealing – the series’ way of investigating what love means in a modern context – then Modern Love will be the next binge watch for you. Modern Love could just as easily be another title for Conversations, given the contemporary nature of its relationships and story. This series just hit its milestone 10 year anniversary, which means it’s as good a time as any to dive into a re-watch (pr even a first-time viewing!).

Just like how Frances and Bobbi’s friendship in Conversations anchors the series’ action, so too does the relationship between Dunham’s Hannah Horvath and her pals in Girls. An easy binge-watch for a weekend too, with hilarious – and short – episodes, it’s as enjoyable to churn through as Conversations is.Ĭreated by Lena Dunham and starring Conversations’ own Jemima Kirke, along with Zosia Mamet and Allison Williams, Girls is a tale of love, life and friendship between four 20-somethings in New York. It’s funny, it’s silly, and it’s very, very sexy. Originally called Scrotal Recall – yes, really – the series later known as Lovesick follows Dylan, who is diagnosed with chlamydia and must inform all of his past sexual partners in order to ensure nobody passes it on. If that doesn’t sell you, know that no show has been better costumed than this in recent memory. It’s a window into New York city life, into down-and-out in your 20s life, and into life as someone as chaotic and glamorous as Kravitz’s Rob. The series also has a focus on the romantic, meaning there’ll be plenty of relationship drama to keep you tuning in, but the real heart of High Fidelity – a Disney+ reboot of the original ‘90s film about a record store owner reeling from a breakup – is the relationship between Rob (Zoe Kravitz) and her best mates, working alongside her in their flailing record store. If the dynamic between friends, particularly very, very close ones, was what drew you into Conversations, High Fidelity is all that and more. The intimacy between this pair in this series remains so powerful, even some two years on from the show’s first release. But where Conversations has a wider focus, Normal People zeroes in on the relationship between just two people – Connell and Marianne – as they duck in and out of each other’s lives. Normal People shares a lot of DNA with Conversations: both are based on bestselling Sally Rooney novels, both are created and directed by Lenny Abrahamson, with scripts by Alice Birch, both are about 20-somethings in Dublin as they try to make sense of the world around them.

If you’ve watched Conversations With Friends – and somehow didn’t come to it via the gateway drug of Normal People – then consider this your boarding call.
