As you grow up, International Friendships Day begins to lose its charm. Who tied friendship bands to us takes a backseat, and we prioritise those friends who have been there for us in tough times. Even as we navigate our professional lives, we tend to be friends with those colleagues who will not be the boss’ pets or snitch on us when we make mistakes without the boss’ knowing. And that’s when we realise that office friends are our true besties because we spend our day’s 8-9 hours with them. So, in honour of Friendships Day, here are 8 shows that are an ode to workplace friendships!

1. The Office
Of course, this one had to be the first show in this listicle because it is literally about colleagues working together and sharing their mundane eight hours in each other’s company. Both the British and the American versions make for a hilarious watch!
2. Parks and Recreation
A fun sitcom that revolves around friends, enemies and everything in between in the Parks and Recreation department of a fictional town. The story is set against bureaucracy, and therefore, it shows how things work in government departments in a fun way. An Indian show like this would immediately be cancelled the next, just saying!
3. The Bear
This comedy-drama series is about a chef who comes home to manage his late brother’s sandwich shop. Despite facing resistance initially, all the other chefs working in the kitchen warm up to each other and become great friends!
4. Superstore
This fun show is about the employees working at a supermarket called Cloud 9. It shows the beautiful bond that everyone begins to share despite being annoyed by each other’s weird habits and traits.
5. Brooklyn 99
If we are talking about workplace friendships, we cannot skip Brooklyn 99! A personal favourite, this show is about the unbreakable friendship that develops between the cops of the 99th precinct as they solve cases together.
6. Sanjivani
This Indian show is about four doctors who sew their friendship tight as they treat their patients and find cures for many diseases. The show stars Rupali Ganguly, Mohnish Bahl, Gurdeep Kohli, Mihir Mishra, Sanjeet Bedi, and Iravati Harshe.
7. Grey’s Anatomy
As dramatic as this show in terms of their cases and romantic relationships between the hot docs, it also sheds light on the tight friendships between the doctors who always have each other’s backs.

8. Made In Heaven
This Sobhita Dulipala and Arjun Mathur show is about friendships that get forged in the planning of big fat Indian weddings.
